Recipe for a vegan Baked Almond Feta with Rosemary. Made with the leftover almond pulp from making almond milk! Perfect to crumble over pasta, lasagna, or risotto!
Are you making almond milk yourself? Always wondering what to do with the leftover almond pulp? I have the solution! Make this delicious, addictive vegan Baked Almond Feta with rosemary.
It only takes a couple of minutes of prep time, then 20 minutes in the oven and there it is: warm, crumbly almond feta that is amazing on pizza, pasta, or simply to eat on its own.
I never knew how to use the almond pulp from making almond milk in a meaningful way. I mean, I tossed it in muffins, cakes, but it didn’t actually make it taste better. But this baked almond feta is the solution to everything (okay, not to everything, but to this specific issue). I know I’ll be making almond milk much more often now, knowing that I can make this super duper delicious almond feta afterwards.
The baked feta tastes salty and lemony and of course with a light flavor of the rosemary. I don’t want to say that this Baked Almond Feta is just like “real” feta, because I can’t remember how “real” feta tastes, but it is an excellent way to use the almond pulp and it tastes close enough for me :)

I made a double bstch due to the size of my smallest spring form pan. It doesn't have tht horrible jaw stinging pain that real feta has, but I bibn't mind that one bit, i will make this again.

You can store the almond feta in a container in the fridge for up to 5 days! :)

This is so amazing! I have always struggled with what to do with the almond pulp! I save some and throw it on cereal but that’s about it. One question...you obviously have to peel the skins from the almonds before processing? My pulp is the whole pulp skins and all, but I have done it where I remember the skins after soaking. Thank you so so much!

Hi Linda, I've used blanched almonds but you can use almond pulp with the skins too to make the feta, it just won't be that white. :)

Because I’m a raw vegan chef...I use a dehydrator. After making almond milk, I store pulp in freezer, in zip lock bags...flattened out really well...when ready...press pulp on dehydrator non stick trays....and again dehydrate overnight at 118 degrees F. You’ll need to flip the chards over after a few hours...to dehydrate both sides...
Run the dried almond chards through blender....and you have almond flour,...which I store in mason jars, in freezer.
I’m sure you can do this in a carefully watched, low temp oven....but I’ve never done it and not sure of timing...but I’m pretty sure it would work...it just would not be raw almond flour...google it...I’m sure someone’s done it..lol...
