Servings 8
Ingredients
- ½ cup (60 g) almond flour (ground almonds) (see notes)
- 3 tbsp (20 g) nutritional yeast
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp sea salt or more to taste
- 1 pinch of smoked paprika
- 1/2-1 tsp lemon juice or lime juice (optional)
Instructions
- You can watch the video for visual instructions.Add all ingredients except the lemon juice to a bowl and stir with a spoon.
- If you like a tangy touch also add some lemon juice or lime juice (white vinegar is fine too). Stir again.
- Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt, onion powder, garlic powder, etc. to taste. For a cheesier flavor add more nutritional yeast.
- Sprinkle over pasta dishes of choice, for example, this Lentil Bolognese. Enjoy!
Notes
- Almond flour is 100% ground blanched almonds. You can use any other ground nuts (nut flour) or ground seeds of choice, for example, cashews, pine nuts, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, sesame seeds, or a combination. To make your own nut flour (ground nuts) simply grind the nuts (or seeds) for some seconds in a coffee grinder or food processor. Do not over process, otherwise, the mixture sticks together.
