- Use raw unsalted cashews. This will help you be able to control the salt in this recipe. Plus I find that raw cashews break down better and give the vegan parmesan cheese a nice texture.
- You can use garlic powder or garlic cloves. I tend to use garlic powder in this recipe but if you want to use minced garlic, then 2-3 cloves, minced works fine as well.
- Adding olive oil to this recipe. If you drizzle in a little bit of olive oil as the other ingredients are blending, it will give this recipe more of a traditional parmesan texture. This also helps it almost melt a little bit more when you bake it on top of a lasagna or Mac and cheese.
- To store this recipe. Store in an airtight container or mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
