Broccoli Pesto
Report
Broccoli pesto is a delicious pesto variation, made without nuts! Once you taste it, you'll want to eat it straight with a spoon, but it's also delicious on pasta, sandwiches, and more.

Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped broccoli florets (4 ounces)
- 1 cup fresh basil , tightly packed (23 grams)
- 2 garlic cloves (5 grams)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (28 grams)
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil (53 grams)
- 3/4 teaspoon sea salt (5 grams)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (35 grams; or 1 tablespoon white miso)
- 2 tablespoons water (25 grams)
Instructions
- To prepare the broccoli, fill a small saucepan with 1-inch of water and arrange a steamer basket inside. Add the broccoli to the steamer basket, keeping it lifted up out of the water, and bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat and cover, cooking until the broccoli is easily pierced with a fork, about 8 minutes.
- While the broccoli is cooking, you can add the rest of the pesto ingredients to a blender to be efficient with your time. When the broccoli is done, add it to the blender and blend until smooth, about 60 seconds.
- Taste and adjust any seasoning, as needed. Serve right away with your favorite pasta, or on a sandwich. Store the leftover pesto in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
