An easy and tasty way to get some extra greens in! Powerhouse spinach mixed with buttery smooth pine nuts and creamy tahini combine to make this flavorful vegan spinach pesto.
If you haven’t roasted the garlic, peel and mix with a splash of veggie broth. Wrap in tin foil, and/or parchment and roast at 400°F (200°C) in a regular or toaster oven, about 20-25 minutes, until garlic just starts browning.
Wash spinach and basil and place in a blender.
Add the garlic, once it is done, and the rest of the ingredients into the blender and pulse until combined. If you want to smooth, blend well. For a chunkier pesto continue to pulse until you reach desired consistency.
Notes
I measure my greens packed in. Use less or more broth to get the consistency you prefer. If you aren’t a garlic lover as we are, you can reduce the garlic, but remember it is roasted so the flavor is not as strong.
Tips to prep ahead: Roast garlic and wash spinach and basil.
