Serves: 16 servings (about 3 cups)
Ingredients
  • 1 cup nutritional yeast flakes
  • 1 cup almonds, preferably blanched (see note below)
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
Instructions
  1. If blanched and peeled your own almonds, pat the almonds dry to remove excess moisture.
  2. Place the almonds, nutritional yeast, and sea salt in your blender or food processor, and blend into a fine meal.
  3. Sprinkle it on your meal as a garnish, or use it in recipes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for optimal freshness, for up to 1 month. It can be frozen for longer.
Notes
Blanching Almonds: Soak raw unsalted almonds in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain and let cools slightly. Rub the almonds between your fingers, and the skins should pop off easily.
