I had no clue how deep my love for a sun-dried tomato pesto recipe would go, but it’s legit! This recipe is a blend of all things Italian that works with pasta, veggie bowls, with pizza and as a dip for crackers.
What are sun-dried tomatoes?
Sun dried tomatoes have literally been dried in the sun, then packed into glass jars with olive oil. At first glance, I think they look disgusting. Yet you gotta get over that because they really are flavorful and make a delicious pesto. You can add them as a topping to pizza, veggie bowls wraps or transform them into the most flavorful pesto I’ve ever had.
Can you freeze it?
You can freeze this sun-dried tomato vegan pesto recipe in any freezer safe container. I like to use shallow mason jars, yet I know freezer safe bags work well to save space. The day before you want to use it, just put in the fridge and allow it to soften so you can spread it easier.
