Hi Reader, Pesto sauce isn’t just for pasta. I love making vegan pesto or grabbing a jar to toss with baby gold potatoes. They roast up tender and soak in all that zesty, herby flavor. The best part: this recipe takes about 30 minutes. Serve them hot from the oven or chilled as a potato salad. Get the recipe for Vegan Pesto Roasted Potatoes Love and Veggies, Amy
