There are so many different ways to do pesto. This vegan keto pumpkin seed green onion pesto is a convenient option if you don’t happen to have a ton of basil kicking around. Instead of cheese, I use nutritional yeast to get the cheesy flavour.
Vegan Keto Pumpkin Seed Green Oniom Pesto Recioe
Ingredients:
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 1 cup green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon leaves
- ¼ teaspoon [flaky sea salt (like Maldon or Fleur de sel)
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon Lakanto Golden Sweetener
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup roasted pumpkin seeds
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
Directions:
In a food processor or blender, combine garlic, green onions, tarragon, sweetener, salt, and pepper. Pulse until garlic, green onions, and tarragon just come together but are not paste-like.
With the motor running, slowly pour in olive oil, scraping sides of bowl as necessary. Check the texture and flavor, adding up to ¼ cup more olive oil as necessary. Add pumpkin seeds and pulse to combine (the seeds should still be slightly chunky). Transfer pesto to a bowl and stir in nutritional yeast. Season with salt to taste.
