Yields 3/4 cup

Ingredients

1/2 cup almonds, slivered (the ones without the skins)
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt (to your taste)

Instructions

Put the almonds, yeast, and garlic powder in the food processor. Pulse until it looks like a grain. I add a drizzle of olive oil and processor more until the granules became very small (note: pic is zoomed in).
Taste, add salt, blend - repeat until it's just the way you like it. I like to make mine very salty because I use the mixture instead of salt in recipes.
You want it to look like that Parmesan grated topping you used as a kid. Store any leftovers in the fridge.
