Vegan Parmesan Cheese

  • Level: Easy
  • Yield: 1 cup
  • Total: 5 min
  • Active: 5 min
This cashew-based recipe mimics Parmesan's signature savory, salty and cheesy flavor with just five ingredients. Much like cheese you buy in a shaker, it's powdery and ready to be dusted liberally over a plate of pasta.

Great idea for a vegan like me, but it just isn't cheese. It only has the appearance of cheese.
