Combine all ingredients into a small food processor bowl, or a Vitamix small bowl and pulse several times until the mixture is fairly fine, similar to parmesan. Be careful not to over-process it, or it will get oily, which you do not want.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for a week, or may be frozen for up to 2 months. So next time you have a need for parmesan, look no further than this simple dairy-free cheese that will not leave you feeling bloated. If you'd like, you can add a half teaspoon of different spices, such as Italian or dried basil and rosemary to yours, for some simple ways to create different flavors in this delicious plant-based parmesan.
* You may also use ¼ cup hemp seeds and ¼ cup sunflower seeds if you prefer.
