How to Make the Best Vegan Cheesy Sprinkle
If you’ve been searching for a delicious dairy-free alternative to parmesan cheese, this vegan cheesy sprinkle is exactly what you need. Made with just four simple ingredients—walnuts, hemp seeds, nutritional yeast, and sea salt—this savory topping delivers that umami-rich, cheesy flavor without any animal products.
The magic happens when you lightly toast the mixture in a skillet. This step transforms the raw ingredients into something wonderfully aromatic and deeply flavorful. The nutritional yeast provides that distinctive cheesy taste, while the toasted nuts add a satisfying crunch and depth that mimics the texture of freshly grated parmesan.
Sprinkle this versatile topping over pasta, soups, salads, roasted vegetables, or anywhere you’d normally reach for parmesan. It’s a game-changer for anyone following a vegan diet or simply looking to add more plant-based options to their cooking repertoire.
