Looking for the best and easiest way to make vegan parmesan cheese? Here's how to make the quickest and healthiest, 2-ingredient vegan parmesan that's from real whole foods, gluten-free, allergy-free, even paleo! Perfect to have on hand for topping, sprinkling, and making anything "cheesy"!
In search of the best, easiest, healthiest vegan parmesan?
Look no further! Nothing artificial, 100% vegan, gluten-free, allergy-free, and paleo! The perfect texture and taste all wrapped into one super simple "recipe" that only requires TWO ingredients! You've seen me use this "recipe" in a few of the recipes over here on Strength and Sunshine and I felt the need to formalize it with a full post. If you're reading in real time, you'll be needing this parmesan for many cheesy things in the future! I feel silly calling it a recipe, that's why it's more of a how-to and probably the easiest how-to you'll ever read!
So how do you make the easiest 2-ingredient vegan parmesan?
The only 2 ingredients you need to make this parmesan are:
2. Hemp Hearts (Shelled Hemp Seeds)
The best part is that these ingredients go one-to-one in the recipe. To make a decent batch to keep on hand in the fridge of pantry, just use 1 cup of nutritional yeast and one cup of hemp hearts. But to actually make the texture "parmesan-style", you just need to blitz these two ingredients in a small food processor or blender! From there I like to store my vegan parm in small Ball canning jars in the fridge (or pantry if I know I'll be using it quickly)!

I’ve been paleo for 3 years and haven’t tried a cheese substitute yet! Can’t wait to give this one a shot 🙂

Not much of a shot to give, but alright!

I am a nutritional yeast addict, but haven't tried hemp hearts. I need to get some and try this recipe.

Me too! I may just turn in to nooch!

Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Great!

I've seen people making "vegan parmesan" for a while now and I have to say I'm intrigued. I'm a huge cheese addict and parmesan is my favourite, so I would give this a try to compare it to the real one.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Normally I just pour nooch on everything, but when cooking certain recipes, you need the hearty texture and feel of the hemp to actually mimic parm!
Plus all vegan parms I see include nuts which are a NO!
Jazz
Never even knew this was possible. This is great to have on hand!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Great for so many recipes that need more than just the texture of nutritional yeast!
Evelyn Hernandez
Gotta love 2 ingredient recipes, so easy and quick! Nutritional yeast is a regular ingredient in our staple, healthy and taste just like cheese 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
I live on nooch!

It's so interesting how certain foods can be substituted with vegan options. I'll have to keep this handy in case I ever need to cook for a vegan person. Thanks for the info.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Works like a charm!

Hmmm? I am intrigued. Is it salty like parmesan? Thanks so much for sharing.

I guess you could add salt?
