Vegan Pumpkin Seed Pesto

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.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp miso
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • one large bunch fresh basil leaves
  • 3 sprigs fresh cilantro (optional)

Preparation:

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.
