Summary

One of the top concerns we hear about going plant-based is the notion of giving up cheese. This 3-Ingredient 2-Minute Cheesy Topping makes ditching cheese for plants a piece of (plant-based) cake! Not only is it simple to make, but it’s bursting with umami flavor from the garlic and nutritional yeast and richness from the hemp seeds. Sprinkle on top of soup, pasta, salads, grain bowls or anywhere you’re craving cheesy goodness!

Chef's Notes

In place of nutritional yeast, use 1–2 tablespoons of organic mellow white or chickpea miso.

Instead of hemp seeds, try walnuts or brazil nuts.
