Roasted Potatoes W Arugula Pistachio Pesto Recipes

CRISPY ROASTED POTATOES AND ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• For the potatoes. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine together the potatoes, garlic, dried rosemary, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper until the potatoes are well-coated.
• On a large baking sheet (lined with parchment paper for easy clean-up), spread the potatoes in a single layer and roast for 30-40 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
• For the salad. As the potatoes roast, place the arugula in a large bowl and top with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine and then set aside.
• Put it together. Plate the arugula on a large platter or plate and top with the roasted potatoes. Then grate a generous amount of parmesan cheese over the dish. Best served immediately.

PESTO POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Spread potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Combine pesto and olive oil in a small bowl and drizzle over potatoes. Toss potatoes until evenly coated. Spread potatoes in a single layer.
• Roast in the preheated oven, stirring every 20 minutes, until golden brown, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

ARUGULA AND PISTACHIO PESTO

Steps:

• 1. Add half of the oil to a blender or food processor. Some liquid on the bottom makes it easier to blend. 2. Add half of the pistachios, all the garlic, some of the sea salt and half of the arugula. Blend for a few seconds, stop and scrape the sides with a spatula. 3. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until you obtain the consistency of a paste. I like it chunky so I don't blend it for too long. If you like a smoother texture, blend for a little longer. Either way the flavor will be fantastic. 4. Place it in a small mason jar, or any glass container to store in the fridge. Never use plastic. 5. Keep in the fridge for up to 5 days (for optimal freshness) and enjoy with anything you can imagine.
