Vegan Pistachio Pesto 🌿 Watch me make it here

Ingredients
• 2 cups fresh basil leaves
• 1/2 cup fresh Italian flat leaf parsley leaves
• 1 large garlic clove
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt (plus more to taste)
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1/8 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 cup toasted pistachios
• 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp water

I also add 1/3 cup vegan parmesan sometimes for extra flavor and richness! Especially if I'm using this for pasta. So good!

Directions

Place the pistachios in a dry frying pan over medium heat and toast for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant and slightly toasted.

Then add the pistachios to a food processor with the remaining ingredients and pulse until combined but still slightly chunky.

Spoon on top of roasted veggies, stir through pasta with extra vegan parmesan, or mix with a little vegan mayo to create a tasty sandwich spread 🌿

I shared a quick video about egg replacements in this Instagram Reel about vegan baking, so I thought I’d share some of my favorite vegan egg recipes just for the readers of this newsletter 😊

Vegan Egg + Cheese Hash Brown Skillet Great to meal prep for busy school and work days.
Savory White Bean + Veggie Scramble I love tofu and tempeh, but sometimes it’s fun to scramble something different! White beans are a great option for a quick, nutrient-dense and budget-friendly meal.
Everything Bagel Burrito Boats This is one of my favorite weekend brunch recipes! It’s easy to make and really tasty. Vegans and non-vegans really like this one so try it out on your friends this weekend!
Vegan French Toast for One (no explanation required 😋)
