Why I love this Vegan Parmesan

• Dietary needs - this parmesan is completely vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, oil-free, and sugar free.
• Easy - with just four ingredients, you only need 5 minutes to whip up this tasty parm
• Tastes cheesy & salty & umami - everything you want in a delicious cheese

Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

• Cashews: use raw cashews to avoid added oils. If you'd like to use a different nut, you can use almonds. Or to make this recipe nut-free, use sunflower seeds.
• Nutritional Yeast: nutritional yeast creates the cheesy flavor that you expect from a good cheese. Find nutritional yeast in the baking/spice aisle
• Garlic Powder: You can never have too much garlic. In this parm it enhances the flavor and adds some depth.
