A flavorful Sicilian pesto made with roasted tomatoes, fresh basil, garlic, almonds and parmesan. Perfect on pasta or as a sandwich spread.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees
Spread the tomatoes over a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and season with sea salt and some dried Italian herbs
Roast the tomatoes in a 400 degree oven for about 20 minutes or until they are wilted and lightly caramelized
Transfer the tomatoes out of the oven to cool while you prepare the other ingredients
Add the basil leaves, almonds, garlic and parmesan into a food processor along with the cooled roasted tomatoes
Pulse until combined
Slowly add olive oil until your desired consistency is achieved (if your tomatoes are very juicy, you may not need a lot of olive oil)
Add salt to taste
Serve or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days
