Best Vegan Parmesan Cheese Recipe with Walnuts

The best vegan parmesan cheese recipe we’ve ever made! Raw walnuts, nutritional yeast, sea salt and just a touch of garlic powder to bring all the flavors together. Quick and easy, naturally gluten-free substitute, once you make your own you’ll never buy the stuff in a box again.

Though you could also make this vegan parmesan cheese with cashews, almonds or pine nuts, I’m partial to walnuts for both their buttery flavor and superfood status.

They are nutrient dense (protein, fiber, calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese) and contain the highest amounts of omega-3 fats of all other nuts. So generously sprinkle it over your favorite pasta dishes, pizza and salads.

A mini food processor is best to achieve the perfect texture when combining all of your ingredients, however a sharp kitchen knife will also do a pretty good job chopping some nuts, so don’t let that hold you back.

Make a double batch, it keeps well in the fridge stored in a tight lid jar.
