Give more life to your meals in a healthy way by making your own Vegan Parmesan Cheese that you can sprinkle on everything, with just 5 simple ingredients.
Vegan | Gluten-free | Soy-free
I used to LOVE parmesan cheese on my pastas, and for a while I tried a couple of different store-bought vegan versions. But over the years I’ve come to realize that store-bought parmesan is not only difficult to find, but it can also be quite expensive.
This recipe is for everyone who finds it hard to give up the taste of cheese, also for everyone who wants to try something new during this lockdown. It’s unbelievably easy to make at home and it only needs 5 ingredients that you probably already have at home. In the long run, you’ll have more control over the taste and nutritional value.
The secret to this recipe is the coconut flour! This is the key ingredient that gives this recipe it’s crumbly texture & color. I know a lot of people avoid anything with coconut because of the flavor. However, the combination of garlic & nutritional yeast completely neutralize the coconut flavor.
I usually prepare this vegan parmesan, and store it in an air-tight container in the fridge. It lasts a long time and keeps very well because all the ingredients are dry and take a long time to expire. The best thing about this parmesan is that it allows us to give even more life to our meals by enhancing the flavor of sauces, pizzas, pasta, lasagna and salads.
Notes:
- I didn’t come up with this recipe, there’s like 100+ different variations of it. After playing around with the amounts, and adding the coconut flour, this is my version.
- Allergic to cashews? Replace them with almonds or macadamia nuts for a similar taste and texture.
