In this homemade Vegan Pesto Recipe, I substitute broccoli and parsley for fresh basil leaves. It's gluten-free, oil-free, fresh, and just as flavorful as authentic basil pesto. Let's get started!
Is Pesto Vegan? Traditional basil pesto contains parmesan cheese. I made this simple Vegan Pesto by omitting the cheese to reduce calories.
Is Vegan Pesto Healthy? Yes, broccoli is healthy and fiber-rich. In this oil-free Vegan Pesto sauce version, I don't use extra virgin olive oil; instead, I substitute sunflower seeds for pine nuts for a nutty goodness!
