Vegan Parmesan Recipe

Vegan Parmesan can be easily made with nutritional yeast, nuts or seeds of choice, a bit of seasoning, salt and garlic. Depending on the nut or seed used, you will need a bit more seasoning or salt. Taste and adjust and store in an airtight container for a month or 2. 

I add some breadcrumbs for texture in some batches. Use more of the nuts instead to keepit gluten-free.

    I miss the saltiness of parmesean. I’ve made another vegan parm before but it wasn’t what I’d hoped. The flavors in yours look good so I will give it a try. Thanks for the recipe.

    I’ve eaten a lot of vegan parm at this point, but tried yours tonight and the addition of the herbs was a really nice touch. I’m sure it won’t last long!

    Do you use raw cashews or toasted? I think toasted would give extra flavor. What do you think?
    Thank you

    Wow! Delicious!
    I used half pumpkin seed (raw) and 1/2 hemp seed.
    THANK YOU. I get tired of the flavor of cashew in most vegan cheeses…

    My only addition was to stir in a few drops of olive oil to get that “stuck together” effect that dairy parm has.
    You are a genius.
