Easy Vegan Parmesan
This easy vegan parmesan is nutty, cheesy, and salty with a zesty little twist. It takes 2 minutes, a blender, and a handful of pantry ingredients — and adds magic to almost any savoury dish. This vegan parmesan is fantastic to have on hand, it tastes as close to parmesan as you can get — but it’s totally dairy-free, full of healthy fats, and super versatile. It’s perfect sprinkled on pasta, salads, roasted veggies, soups, or avocado toast. Seriously, the uses you'll find for this will be endless.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup raw almonds
- ⅓ cup hemp seeds
- 4 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ⅓ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ lemon zested
Instructions
- Almonds: Add the almonds to a food processor and pulse a few times until coarsely ground — don’t over-blend, you want a crumbly texture, not a paste.
- Rest: Then add the hemp seeds, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and lemon zest. Pulse again a few times until everything is evenly combined and resembles grated parmesan. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Store: Store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 3 weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
