About Mediterranean vegetables with pesto

Mediterranean Vegetables with Pesto is a vibrant dish blending the wholesome flavors of the Mediterranean. This nutrient-packed meal typically includes roasted or grilled vegetables such as zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and red onion, tossed with a fragrant basil pesto made from fresh basil leaves, olive oil, garlic, pine nuts, and Parmesan cheese. Inspired by Mediterranean cuisine, the dish is rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats from olive oil and pine nuts, antioxidants from colorful vegetables, and vitamin K from basil. It's naturally gluten-free and can easily be made vegan by using a dairy-free pesto. While high in nutrients, pesto's fat content may require mindful portioning for those monitoring calorie intake. This versatile dish can be enjoyed as a side, a salad, or a light vegetarian main, embodying the simplicity and health benefits of Mediterranean cooking.
