¼ cup nutritional yeast

Instructions

Step 1: Blend Ingredients

Add all ingredients to a small blender or food processor.

Transfer the mixture to a shaker container or jar for storage.
Serve this easy and delicious vegan parmesan cheese over any meal that could use a boost of delicious cheesy flavor!
