How to Make Ww 2 Points Red Vegetable Pesto

  1. Preheat your broiler to high.
  2. Line a baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  3. Arrange 1 medium red onion (cut-side down), 1 large red bell pepper (halved), and 4 large garlic cloves on the prepared baking sheet. Broil 3 inches from the heat source, turning the bell pepper frequently, until all vegetables are charred (about 10-12 minutes).
  4. Let the vegetables stand until cool enough to handle (approximately 15-20 minutes).
  5. Once cool, peel the onion and bell pepper. Remove and discard the stems and seeds from the pepper.
  6. In a food processor, combine the peeled and chopped onion, bell pepper, garlic, 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained), 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Process until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  8. Transfer the pesto to a medium bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to use. The flavors will deepen over time!
  9. Enjoy! This recipe yields approximately 2 servings, each at 2 points.
