Why these Ingredients
Common Mistakes, Notes, Prep in Advance, Storage, Swaps & Tips
Notes:
Pulse the food processor rather than running it continuously — you want a coarse, crumbly texture, not a paste. Stop as soon as it resembles grated parmesan.
Nutritional yeast is the ingredient that provides the cheesy flavor. Don’t skip it.
Storage:
Store in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Swaps:
Cashews can be swapped for hemp seeds or sunflower seeds for a nut-free version with a slightly different flavor.
