Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 – [ 12 oz. jar ] roasted red peppers, drained *
  • 1 – [ 14 oz. can ] fire roasted tomatoes (do not drain)
  • 1 cup raw almonds *
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 Tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt (+/-) *
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flake

Optional Ingredients:

  • Pasta of choice (we used gluten free penne pasta)
  • Roasted Veggies
  • Quinoa flatbread (for dipping) Quinoa Flatbread recipe
  • Topping – Vegan Parmesan Cheese recipe
  • Fresh basil, chiffonade

Instructions

  1. Place the raw almonds (no soaking required) into a high-speed blender and pulse until a fine meal-like texture is reached.
  2. Then add all your remaining ingredients into the high-speed blender with the ground almonds, except for the crushed red pepper flake and pulse until everything is smooth.
  3. Add the red pepper flake and pulse for a few seconds.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
  5. Serve with your favorite pasta or as a dipping sauce with your favorite bread. (Serve hot or at room temperature).

Notes

*Roasted Red Peppers: Look for a roasted red pepper with no oil and no added sugar.  We used Mancini Sweet Roasted Peppers.

*Raw Almonds: We used whole raw almonds and pulsed them into a flour. Others may prefer a little texture, but we preferred them broken down into a flour for a smooth consistency for the Romesco sauce.

*Sea Salt: Please adjust the sea salt based upon your family’s sea salt preferences and/or based upon dietary needs.

*Storage: Refrigerate and use within 5 days.
