Basil Pesto
Ingredients
- 65 g pine nuts
- 30 g lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/8 tsp salt
- black pepper
- 55 g olive oil
- 30 g Parmesan cheese
- 60 g basil
Instructions
- Toast the pine nuts in a single layer in an air fryer at 400 °F until they are golden. It should take about 4-5 minutes, but be careful as the pine nuts go from cooked to burnt very quickly.
- In a food processor, blend the pine nuts, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Add the basil, and blend well.
- With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in 55 g of olive oil. If a creamier pesto is desired, add more olive oil.
- Grate the Parmesan cheese and blend it in with the rest of the pesto.
