Pepper Pesto is a vibrant and flavorful twist on traditional pesto, originating from Italian cuisine. Made by blending roasted bell peppers, fresh basil leaves, garlic, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and often nuts like pine nuts or almonds, it offers a smoky sweetness complemented by the earthy freshness of basil. This nutrient-dense sauce is rich in vitamins A and C from the bell peppers, promoting immune health and skin vitality, while olive oil provides heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. The inclusion of Parmesan and nuts adds protein, though these ingredients contribute to its calorie content. Pepper Pesto is a versatile addition to pasta, sandwiches, or dips, offering a balance of indulgence and nutrition with vibrant Mediterranean flavors.
