Honey Free Vegan Parmesan
That savory, cheesy sprinkle you've been missing on pasta, salads, and roasted vegetables? This is it — made entirely from pantry staples with zero animal products and absolutely no sweeteners of any kind. Raw cashews form the base, blending with nutritional yeast to deliver that unmistakable umami depth that makes you do a double-take. A little garlic powder and fine sea salt round everything out into something that genuinely tastes like it belongs on a restaurant table. The whole thing comes together in a food processor in under five minutes — just pulse until you hit that perfect coarse, crumbly texture and stop before it turns into a paste. It keeps beautifully in an airtight jar, so you can reach for it all week long. Whether you're finishing a bowl of spaghetti, dusting it over roasted broccoli, or sneaking spoonfuls straight from the jar, this little condiment punches well above its weight.
