Recipe Information

Gather all the ingredients.
Add the raw cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, and salt to a food processor or high-speed blender.
Pulse the mixture several times until the ingredients are evenly combined and the texture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Avoid over-blending to prevent the cashews from turning into a paste.

Sprinkle over your favorite dishes like pasta, salads, roasted vegetables, or soups for a cheesy and nutty flavor.
