Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 4 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • teaspoon garlic powder
  • teaspoon onion powder
  • ¾ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  • Place all the ingredients into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until a fine meal resembling parmesan cheese is formed. It will be a coarse sand like texture that can easily be sprinkled.
  • Taste for salt and add more if desired. Parmesan is a salty cheese, but your goal is for it to taste cheesy salty not just salty. If you over salt by a mistake just add more cashews and pulse again.
  • Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for weeks.
