Raw vegan cheesy almonds! I don’t think I need to really sell you on this. It sells itself just fine. Yes, just as the name suggests, they are cheesy almonds. They are coated in a tasty raw vegan cheese sauce, then dried until crisp. Crunchy and cheesy, quite possibly the best combination on earth. They are a perfect snack and a pick me up, and even a salad topper. I love carrying these with me in my purse. They travel well, easy to just pop it in your mouth, and they are great for curving any hunger pangs. Rotate the flavors with my pizza spiced almonds and nacho spiced almonds and you are set! So tasty you won’t believe it’s healthy, my objective in all my recipe creations.
Time to “cheese” these cheesy almonds! Soak the cashews for 2-4 hours. Drain and rinse well. Add all the cheese sauce (raw vegan) ingredients into the blender and blend until smooth.
Mix the freshly made cheese sauce and almonds in a bowl and toss well until well combined.
Line a dehydrator tray with a mesh and then a silicone sheet. Lay out the almonds thinly and evenly. Place the tray in the dehydrator and dry at 115℉ for about 18 hours until it becomes completely dry.
Break up the almonds into small clusters and it’s done! Raw vegan cheesy crunchy almonds. You need these in your life.

Do you have any options if you don’t have a dehydrator?
Hi Brandi,
Thank you for your comment! I always try to offer an oven option for dehydrator recipes, but this recipe didn’t turn out using the oven. I’m sorry! But my raw vegan pizza almonds recipe and raw vegan nacho almonds recipe, you can use the oven and they are very tasty too!! I highly recommend you trying these instead. They won’t disappoint!! Thank you so much:)
