How to make Vegan Parmesan Cheese. Use Cashews, Pecans or Pepitas to make Dairy-free Parmesan cheese. Nut-free Vegan Parmesan Recipe. | VeganRicha.com 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 keep it gluten-free. Use it in Pastas, Bowls, risotto and more.

    This vegan parm is excellent! I didn’t add the bread crumbs and used a combination of raw cashews, walnuts and 1 tablespoon of hemp seeds. Will definitely make again! Thank you.
