Keto Spicy Pepper Pesto Sauce
This Keto sauce recipe is our twist on a classic pesto. Our spicy Keto pesto is prepared with roasted red bell peppers, aromatic fresh basil, crunchy pine nuts, fragrant garlic, a hint of lemon, tangy parmesan cheese, and fiery dried chili flakes. The ingredients are combined in a food processor to form a coarse paste, then blended with olive oil to create a semi-smooth pesto sauce. We have added parmesan to our Keto spicy pesto in keeping with the traditional recipe. If you would like to make the recipe dairy-free or vegan, you may omit the parmesan and add a few extra pine nuts for texture. Alternatively, if you would like to retain a cheesy flavor, you can swap the parmesan for some flakes of nutritional yeast, adding according to personal taste. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the original recipe. This spicy Keto pesto makes a versatile dressing and can be enjoyed in a variety of low carb recipes. The sauce can be used to add flavor to roasted low carb vegetables or as a dressing for cooked meats. It can also, of course, be used as a delicious low carb pasta sauce. Simply heat through the pesto, stirring into your preferred low carb spaghetti or noodles.
