I tried a version of this recipe with 1 teaspoon of onion powder and found it to be too overpowering. However, if you are avoiding salt, you can try substituting with a ½ teaspoon of onion powder.
For a more budget-friendly recipe, substitute sunflower seeds for the hemp hearts. You will need to pulse everything in a food processor or high-powered blender in order to get the right consistency.
