Vegan Romano Cheese

This recipe is an excellent substitution for Romano cheese. And it’s cheaper than buying some of the pre-made vegan cheeses in the store. Not that I’m opposed to those cheeses. Some of them are great! It’s hard to find the ones I prefer locally, so I buy a favorite vegan parmesan through Thrive Market.

It can be stored in an air-tight container for up to 6 months in the refrigerator, too! The texture of this “cheese” is a lot like a grated romano cheese, and we always keep a jar of it on hand! It works well as a topping on pasta, popcorn, and salads. You name it. I love it on top of my potatoes au gratin and use it in my Cacio E Pepe.

Enjoy!

  1. I made this recipe and while it resembles the texture of Romano, it really doesn’t taste like a cheese product to me. I may use it as a crumb topping on something, like a stuffed tomato, or to coat zucchini sticks for some added crunch, but I was hoping to use it as a substitute in a pizza recipe and I doubt it will work. To be fair, I haven’t made the pizza recipe with it, and I may give it a try in a small batch in the future.
