- 1 cup raw cashews or cashew pieces
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- ¼ to ½ teaspoon garlic powder (add less to begin with and add more if you like a greater kick to your parm)
- 1 teaspoon oregano (doesn't sound like it belongs in parm, I know, but it adds that extra something without screaming, I'm here!)
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
- Frugal tip: You can sub half the cashews with a couple of slices of day-old bread. Run through the food processor with the other ingredients and season as needed with salt and pepper.
