I’m a huge fan of Nutritional Yeast. I sprinkle it on my popcorn and toast, cook it into sauces, and basically put it on almost everything I eat. I’m addicted to its nutty cheesy flavor (and the fact that it serves as a vegetarian source of vitamin B12 is an added bonus). I always make sure to pack a big bag of Nutritional Yeast for any travel excursion. And when I’m away for a long time, it’s the first thing I request when people offer to send me care packages. Anyway, this stuff is good.

So….it’s only natural that when I was recently introduced to Parma! (vegan Parmesan sprinkles), I became just as addicted. And lately I’ve been carrying Parma! around everywhere I go. The ingredients are simple: Raw Organic Walnuts, Red Star Veg Support Nutritional Yeast, Celtic Sea Salt, and Love. And what’s especially awesome about Parma! is that it comes in a handy shaker for added convenience.

I recommend keeping Parma! in your bag or purse at all times so you don’t ever have to be without it. Then next time you’re stuck at a restaurant with measly vegetarian options (like a boring salad, baked potato, or pasta sauce)…simply whip out your Parma! container and you’re all set!

Here are a few examples of things I’ve cooked lately with this stuff:

Garlic Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Parma! sprinkles:

Baked Kale Chips with Ume Vinegar & Parma!:

Eggplant Parmesan (or Parma!sean) with Pasta and a Spinach Salad

For those of you in Austin, Texas like me, you can find Parma! at Whole Foods and Wheatsville. For those of you who are in other parts of the US, you can find a list of Parma! purchasing locations here.
