cashews

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Sunflower seeds are more affordable and nut-free.

Start with a high-speed blender or Vitamix.

Measure out 1/2 cup of nutritional yeast (using unfortified, such as Sor Foods).

Add 1 cup of gluten-free rolled oats to the blender.

Include 1/2 cup of sunflower seeds in the blender.

Add 2 tablespoons of hemp seeds.

Incorporate 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, and black pepper to taste.

Use a salt-free salt substitute, like Benson's Table Tasty, to taste.

Put the lid on the blender and pulse a few times until the mixture is broken down but not turned into a paste.

Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Transfer the faux parmesan to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks.
