My vegan parmesan recipe is not just cashews guys I also add roasted and salted sunflower seeds, nutritional yeast and some spices! And wow it makes all the difference in flavour! You’ll want to this glorious vegan cheese topping sprinkled on everything!!
I’ve bought follow your heart vegan parmesan, go veggie brand, Nooch It and Violife parmesan (never tried Daiya) in the past but the grocery store that carries these brands is an hour from me so making my own just makes more sense, it's simple, tastes better and is more economical!
And I always buy my raw cashews and toasted seeds at Walmart I can’t find them cheaper any where else.
This recipe is delicious topped on so many things like vegan mac and cheese, bolognese, spaghetti and meat balls, tofu scramble, soups, mashed potatoes, fettuccini Alfredo and of course caesar salad!
