Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Pre-heat your oven to 175’C (350’F)
- Place your almonds onto a lined baking sheet and toast for 10 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant.
- Once your almonds are toasted place them, along with all remaining ingredients into your food processor or blender and process until well combined.
- If you’d like to make a thinner pesto add a touch of water (or neutral flavored oil) a Tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Pesto should keep well stored, covered or in a sealed air tight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. It can also be frozen (for up to 3 months) in a ice cube tray, then transferred to a ziplock bag in single servings ready to grab and go as needed.
- Enjoy xo
