- Optional: pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Add Ingredients: Place the raw cashews, nutritional yeast, sea salt, garlic powder, and optional black pepper into a food processor.
- Process: Pulse and blend the ingredients for about 30 seconds, or until the mixture is completely broken down into a fine, powdery consistency resembling grated parmesan.

Notes
- This cashew parmesan stores well in the fridge in an airtight container for about 2 weeks.
- If you have a nut allergy, almonds or sunflower seeds can be used as a substitute for cashews.
- Using a food processor is recommended for the best texture, but a high-speed blender can also be used.
- Ensure your appliance is completely dry before adding ingredients to prevent clumping and achieve a smooth, powdery texture similar to traditional parmesan.
