Potatoes with pesto are crispy on the outside yet soft and delicate on the inside. Marinated with oil-free and nut-free pesto, the potatoes roast in the deep flavors of the pesto!

Instructions
Oil-FREE/Nut-Free PESTO
Place all ingredients in a high-speed blender
Blend until smooth; set aside
POTATOES WITH PESTO
Wash potatoes by scrubbing to remove excess debris
Cut into larger bite-sized pieces
Place potatoes in a large pan and cover with water
Add 1 teaspoon salt
Bring to a boil and cook on high for 5-7 minutes
Drain water and allow potatoes to cool
Add pesto and toss potatoes until covered.
All ow to marinate for at least 4 hours, preferred overnight.
BAKING INSTRUCTIONS
Once marinated, the potatoes will absorb a lot of the pesto sauce, but there will be excess on the bottom of the bowl or plastic bag you marinate it.
For that reason, pour the excess pesto into a separate container and set aside.
If you pour all the contents and excess marinade on the pan, the excess marinade will burn on the pan.
To avoid this, remove the excess marinade, and we will use it after the potatoes cook.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees
Place potatoes on a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking sheet or parchment paper.
Cook for 30 minutes
Removed from the oven and transfer to a bowl, and toss in the remaining pesto
Sprinkle with Vegan Parmesan Cheese (optional)
AIR-FRYING INSTRUCTIONS
Follow the same suggestions by removing the excess marinade.
Another suggestion is to cook in single layer batches, as foods air-fry better when cooked in a single layer.
Set the air-fryer at 400 degrees
Air-fry each single layer batch for 15 minutes
Toss in excess marinade
Serve with Vegan Parmesan Cheese (optional)
Notes
Another idea is to add fresh chopped basil when serving these delcious potatoes with pesto.
