Enjoy the comfort of a big plate of roasted potatoes smothered in spinach pesto. Not only is this dish comforting, but it’s filling, healthy, easy to make, and perfect as a side at dinner (or eaten all on its own). With winter still here, this is a dish that is sure to keep your body and soul warm.
Eat this with a big salad for dinner or some roasted veggies such as Brussels sprouts, butternut squash, and cauliflower.
Save some of the pesto on the side and use it on pasta, in sandwiches, or even for dipping veggies! It’s a versatile pesto that you can adapt any way you like. If you want more garlic flavor, simply add in more garlic cloves. If you want it a little thinner, simply add some warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
