This is more like vegan breadcrumbs. cheese needs a melty creamy quality.
🔥🔥🔥
Olives: great idea!
I never would have guessed to try olives…thanks for posting!
Unfortunately baking after putting in the nutritional yeast destroys a lot of the nutrition. There are similar recipes that don't require baking the yeast or anything else or that matter.
nutritional yeast on it's own is a great substitute actually
I have tried a number of vegan Parmesan recipes. Most are similar to one another. This is so different- I am eager to try! Thank you for vegan recipes!!
I used this tonight when I made garlic knots. INCREDIBLE!! Thanks, you guys. I tell anyone who will listen that ATK's recipes are always SPOT ON! So, who at ATK is going to start doing some more vegan videos? <<wink-wink>>
Thank you! I look forward to trying this.
Omg thank you!!!!! Green olives???! I can't wait to try this!! I'll report back😁
Thank you!!!!!!

I started watching your program before I became vegan. Now that I am, I still watch, hoping for more vegan options. This did not disappoint! More please!
Cheese is one of my favorite foods but dairy has recently started to cause me some very uncomfortable and life-interrupting GI symptoms. I look forward to trying this out next time we have pasta. I hope you guys will continue to explore more vegan recipes, you are a brand that I trust to have figured out the best tasting way to do everything.
😭 thank you so much!!!!!
great video. thanks
What temperature should I bake it? Maybe I missed it.
Thank you atk! More vegan recipes please!
dairy/hard cheeses cause me to break out in hives and pretty significant vomiting (among other GI symptoms) so i'm happy that you guys are coming out with more vegan options! adding olives is an interesting idea! i've not seen that before.
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👏
Oh my gosh olives? Wow this is fabulous
The whole point of being vegan is to avoid the suffering of living creatures … yet they use "nutritional yeast" which … is a living creature. It's incredibly tiny, but it's alive. It eats, it poops, and it multiplies. Seems kinda hypocritical to me…
I'm not vegan, but this looks really good. I think I'd like it on lots of things.
Loving the vegan stuff. Great job. Keep it up!
I really like the way Elle does recipies 😍🤗
More vegan cheeses etc PLEASE!
