Vegan Parmesan

• 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp garlic granules

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, cover the slice of bread with soy milk and allow to soak.
2. Meanwhile, prepare your tvp by covering it with boiling water. You can also get your flax eggs ready by stirring together the ground flax seeds and water.
3. Once the bread is soggy, stir it up well with a fork. Then add the tvp, flax eggs, onion and spices and mix well.
4. Refrigerate mixture for 15 minutes.
5. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
6. Once the meatball mixture has cooled, roll into balls and place on a parchment lined baking pan.
7. Bake meatballs for 45 minutes to an hour.
8. Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine the walnuts, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, sea salt and garlic granules and pulse until it is a coarse and crumbly meal. Don't over process because it will become thick and pasty.
