Simple Vegan Parmesan
• Blending in short pulses helps maintain a “grated cheese” texture. • For a stronger umami flavor, increase nutritional yeast slightly. • Store refrigerated for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer shelf life. • Great for sprinkling on pasta, salads, roasted vegetables, soups, and grain bowls. • You can swap cashews with almonds or sunflower seeds for different flavor profiles, but texture will change slightly. Health Benefits: Cashews provide healthy fats, protein, and minerals like magnesium that support energy metabolism and heart health. Nutritional yeast is a source of B vitamins and adds savory umami flavor without dairy. This simple topping helps increase flavor and satisfaction in plant-forward meals while keeping ingredients minimally processed.
