Pumpkin seeds
Use your leftover Halloween pumpkin seeds to make an elegant vegan pesto. Serve your pumpkin seed pesto on crackers or toss with pasta for a vegan pumpkin seed pesto pasta.
1 cup pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic
2 Tbsp miso
2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves (1 large bunch)
3 sprigs fresh cilantro (optional)
Process all ingredients in a food processor until desired consistency is reached.
If you like a "saucier" pesto, you can add a bit more liquid. I like my pesto a bit thick, so I usually add a bit less olive oil.
