Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 150 grams raw cashews
  • 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Measure out 150 grams of raw cashews and gather the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to have everything ready for blending.
  2. Blend the Mixture: Add the cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt into a food processor. Pulse several times until the mixture resembles a fine crumb similar to finely grated parmesan cheese.
  3. Store and Refrigerate: Transfer the dairy-free parmesan cheese to an airtight jar or container and refrigerate. It can be stored for up to one month, allowing you to use it as a dairy-free seasoning anytime.

Notes

  • Use raw cashews for the best texture and flavor; roasted cashews can affect the taste.
  • Adjust salt to taste or use a low-sodium salt substitute if desired.
  • You can customize the recipe by adding herbs like dried basil or oregano for additional flavor.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
  • This dairy-free parmesan works great as a topping on pasta, salads, soups, or roasted vegetables.
