Ingredients

1 cup Raw Cashews
4 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder

Step 2

Blend the mixture on high speed for about 30 to 40 seconds, or until it has achieved a fine, crumb-like texture. Be careful not to over-process, as this can turn the ingredients into a paste.

Step 3

Taste the mixture and adjust the seasonings if necessary, adding more salt or garlic powder to your preference.

Step 4

Transfer the vegan parmesan to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Step 5
