Turmeric Free Cashew Parmesan
If you've been searching for a dairy-free Parmesan that actually delivers on flavor, this cashew-based version is genuinely impressive. Raw cashews blitz up into a crumbly, savory topping that mimics the texture of finely grated cheese better than most store-bought alternatives. Nutritional yeast brings that unmistakable umami depth, while garlic powder and sea salt round everything out into something you'll want to sprinkle on absolutely everything. The whole thing comes together in a food processor with just a few pulses — no cooking, no fuss, and no mystery ingredients hiding in the mix. For anyone avoiding certain spices and seasonings, this recipe is refreshingly straightforward: four clean ingredients, nothing superfluous. Keep a jar in the fridge and you'll find yourself reaching for it on pasta, roasted vegetables, soups, and salads all week long.
