How to Make Roasted Almond Parmesan Pesto
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread 1 cup of whole almonds on a baking sheet and roast for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Let cool completely.
- Once cooled, add the roasted almonds (1 cup), 2 cloves of garlic, ½ cup grated parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped but still slightly chunky.
- In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup apple juice and ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil.
- With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the apple juice and olive oil mixture until a thick, creamy pesto forms.
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust consistency with more olive oil if needed.
