Alpha Gal Friendly Cashew Parmesan
If you've been missing that salty, savory sprinkle on top of your pasta or roasted vegetables, this plant-based blend is about to become a pantry staple. It comes together in minutes with just four simple ingredients — raw cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, and sea salt — all pulsed in a food processor until the texture is spot-on. The nutritional yeast brings that unmistakable cheesy, umami depth, while the garlic powder adds just enough warmth to make it feel like the real thing. For anyone navigating a mammalian meat and product allergy, dairy-based parmesan is completely off the table, and store-bought vegan alternatives can be hit or miss with hidden ingredients. This recipe keeps things clean and completely in your control. Store it in an airtight jar and you'll have a ready-to-go topping for soups, salads, grain bowls, or anything that needs a little savory finish.
