Frequently Asked Questions
What is nutritional yeast?
Nutritional yeast is an inactive form of yeast that's rich in B-vitamins and adds a cheesy creaminess to recipes. It comes in both powder and flake forms, but the weight of nutritional flakes is lighter compared to powder. If you use nutritional yeast powder as a substitute, consider starting with less and adding more to taste.
Can I freeze vegan parmesan?
You can freeze it in an air-tight container for up to 3 months.
What can I use vegan parmesan in?
Vegan parm can be added to just about any recipe or dish! We love sprinkling it over casseroles, pasta dishes, pizzas, salads, and roasted veggies.
Can I make vegan parmesan cheese without cashews?
We haven't tried making this vegan parm without cashews, so we can't say for sure how it’ll turn out. Two nut- and dairy-free alternatives you could experiment with include sunflower seeds or hemp seeds though. If you decide to try a cashew-free version, we'd love to hear how it goes in the comments!

I made this with almond flour. And it's delicious!
So easy and so delicious. Made it this evening for the fettuccine alfredo
Made it once a couple of months ago, have been restocking the parm jar in my fridge every week since! I grew up in the area where they produce the original Parmigiano Reggiano in Italy so was properly obsessed as a kid - and this definitely scratches that itch!! 😍🥰 Bomb as always 🔥👏🏼
I never knew egan ingredients was this simple!
Definitely gonna try it out!
Great topping, both texture and taste.
This was so easy to make and we already had all of the ingredients in our pantry! I can’t believe that we have never made vegan parm from scratch before - delicious and easy to make!
Excellent recipe!

I’m loving this app! Thank you for all your thoughtful attention to detail. And, as for this recipe, fast and delish. Tried it on tomato salad and gluten-free bow ties… added the perfect pizzazz.
So simple, yet so delicious!
Can it be kept in the freezer for longer? 😊
Make this a lot. Often I sub in almond if that’s what I have. Works great!
