Ingredients
1/2 cup almond flour (see note)
1/2 cup hemp hearts
3 Tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon white vinegar, optional
Instructions
1). Place the almond flour, hemp hearts, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder and salt in a small glass jar with a lid. With the lid secured, vigorously shake the jar until the ingredients are evenly combined.
2). Remove the lid and add the optional vinegar to the jar. Using a fork, stir the mixture until the vinegar is evenly distributed. Use the fork to break up any large clumps that may form.
3). Taste your vegan parmesan and adjust seasonings as desired. Add more nutritional yeast for a cheesier flavor or more salt and garlic for a bolder flavor.
4). Store your jar of vegan parmesan cheese in the refrigerator for up to a month, or for 3 months in the freezer.
Notes
Blanched almond flour is preferred here for its lighter color and texture, but you may substitute with almond meal, which is made from unblanched almonds, if that’s what you have on hand. Your cheese will have a darker color and coarser texture, but all of the delicious flavor.
