Print Recipe

A quick and easy vegan parmesan substitute made from hemp hearts, nutritional yeast, and simple seasonings that adds a nutty, cheesy flavor to pasta and other dishes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) hemp hearts (shelled hemp seeds)
  • 1/4 cup (20g) nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Measure out 1 cup (120g) hemp hearts, 1/4 cup (20g) nutritional yeast, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt. Have 1 teaspoon lemon juice ready if using.
  2. Add all dry ingredients to a high-speed blender or food processor, then drizzle in the lemon juice if using.
  3. Pulse the mixture 10-15 times in short bursts, scraping down the sides occasionally, until you achieve a crumbly, fine texture—not a powder or paste.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired by adding more nutritional yeast for cheesiness, more lemon juice for brightness, or more salt if needed.
  5. Transfer the hemp heart parmesan to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or freeze for up to two months. Use to sprinkle over vegan pasta, roasted veggies, salads, or other dishes.

Notes

Pulse in short bursts to avoid overprocessing which can turn the mixture into a sticky paste. Store in an airtight container in the fridge to keep fresh and prevent clumping. Lemon juice is optional but recommended for brightness. Can be customized with smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, or dried herbs.
