Recipe
I simply refer to this Veggie Parmesan as 1,1,2,2,1, since the five ingredients in this simple recipe come along in these proportions and I can remember the recipe without referring back to a resource each time I want to prepare it.
Ingredients:
1 cup nutritional yeast, I use large flake size
1 cup almonds, whole
2 tsp powdered garlic
2 tsp powdered onion
1 tsp salt
Directions:
Measure 1 cup of nutritional yeast and pour it into a medium sized bowl. Set aside.
Measure 1 cup of almonds along with the rest of the ingredients and pour into a blender and process to a powder. Pour out the blended ingredients into the bowl with the nutritional yeast. Using a wire whisk or fork blend well, making sure that all ingredients are not lumpy, yet separate particles.
Store in a lidded glass jar in the refrigerator when not using it.
​
Variations:
Substitute rolled oats for some or all of the almonds, if you want to reduce the calorie intake for any reason.
Omit salt, if you aren't cooking with salt.
