Notes
- You can adjust the seasonings in this recipe to suit your taste. If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, for example, you can add more garlic powder.
- If you don’t have raw cashews, you can use almonds or walnuts instead.
- This recipe makes about 1 cup of vegan Parmesan cheese, but you can easily double or triple the recipe if you need more.
- Make sure your cashews are completely cool before blending them, otherwise, they can turn into a paste instead of a fine powder.
- You can also add a pinch of turmeric for color if desired.
