Description

Pesto Garlic Knots are delicious bites packed with spinach pesto, garlic and cheese. Perfect as an appetizer or side dish!

Ingredients

Units Scale

Instructions

  1. Start by making the Whole Wheat Pizza Dough and Spinach Pesto.
  2. Roll the pizza dough into a square, roughly 12×12 inches.
  3. Using a spatula, spread the pesto onto the dough, leaving about a 1/2 inch border around all sides.
  4. Evenly sprinkle the mozzarella over the pesto.
  5. Next, take the top half of the dough and fold down to meet the bottom. You are basically folding the dough in half here. (Check out the video for a play-by-play!)
  6. Then, using a knife or bench scraper, cut the dough horizontally into 6 sections. You should have 6 rectangles at this point.
  7. Now, take one of your rectangles and vertically cut two slits into the dough, keeping the top portion intact. Continue with remaining rectangles.
  8. Next it’s time to braid! Take one of your rectangles and fold the left dough portion over the middle section then repeat with the left side. Continue braiding until you reach the end of the dough. Then, pinch the bottom of the dough to seal. Now take the end you sealed and roll it up towards the other end. You will now have a braided pesto knot! Continue with the rest of the rectangles.
  9. Place the knots into a 9×9 baking dish and brush with a little olive oil.
  10. Place into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly and serve with marinara sauce. Enjoy!

Description

Roasted Brussels Sprouts become crispy and delicious, topped with a sweet balsamic glaze. This is a great holiday side dish!

Ingredients

Scale
Roasted Brussels
  • 1 1/2 lbs Brussels Sprouts
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
Balsamic Glaze
  • 1/2 cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Sugar

Instructions

For the Brussels Sprouts
  1. Preheat your oven to 400° F. Set a large sheet tray out for roasting the Brussels sprouts.
  2. Rinse the Brussels sprouts. Trim the root end off and discard. Slice each sprout in half and place on the sheet tray. Some leaves will fall off, this okay simply add them to the sheet tray too. Discard any outer leaves that are yellow and not green.
  3. Pour one tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp ground black pepper over the Brussels. Using your hands mix it all together to coat the Brussels. Place the tray into the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway. Watch them carefully for the last few minutes as the leaves can burn easily.
For the Balsamic Glaze
  1. While the Brussels sprouts roast, make the balsamic glaze. Heat a sauce pan over medium heat.
  2. Add the balsamic vinegar and sugar. Turn the heat up to medium high and bring the mixture to a low boil.
  3. Once it has reached boil, turn it down and simmer on low for 15-20 minutes. The mixture will cook down and get slightly thicker. You will know its done when the liquid will coat the back of a spoon.
  4. After the 20 minutes turn the heat off and allow the glaze to cool slightly. It will thicken and become glaze like as it cools.
To Serve
  1. Using a spoon drizzle the balsamic glaze lightly over the roasted Brussels sprouts. Enjoy hot!

Sugar Snap Peas

  • 1/2 lb Sugar Snap Peas

Instructions

Make the Turmeric Pickled Onions
  1. Combine all the ingredients into a mason jar or a glass container with a lid. Allow to marinate for at least 12 hours, ideally 24 hours.
Roasted Beet Puree
  1. Preheat your oven to 400 F.
  2. Scrub the beets to remove any dirt then cut off the tops and bottom and peel the beets. Place each beet into a square of aluminum foil, top with olive oil, salt and pepper. Pinch and seal the foil then place each parcel onto a large sheet tray. Place the sheet tray with beets into the oven and roast for 40-50 minutes until the beets are very tender.
  3. Place the roasted beets into the bowl of a food processor with 1/2 cup water. Puree until mixture is smooth.
Beet Pizza Dough
  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer add 1 cup of warm water, sugar and yeast. Allow the yeast to bloom for 5 minutes.
  2. Next, add the salt, flour and beet puree. Mix on low to incorporate all the ingredients, then increase the speed to medium. Add additional flour as needed to form a soft and spongy dough. Cover the bowl and allow dough to rise for 1 hour.
  3. Get ready to roll and cook the dough! Preheat your oven to 475 F.
  4. Flour a countertop or large board to roll out the dough. Using a rolling pin, roll to 1/4 inch thick. Then, using a small 2 inch cutter, cut out the dough and place onto a large sheet tray. Continue to cut out the rest of the dough, place on the tray and then bake at 475 F for 5 minutes. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
Broccoli Pesto
  1. Combine the broccoli and garlic scapes into the bowl of a food processor and process for 1 minute.
  2. Add the salt, pepper and balsamic vinegar and pulse again to mix. Next, with the processor on, drizzle the olive oil in through the feed tube. Then add the Parmesan cheese and process once more to fully incorporate all ingredients. Taste the pesto and adjust seasonings to your preference.
Assembling the Pizzettes
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tsp olive oil. Crisp a pizzette in the oil, turning over after 1 minute and then cooking the other size for 1 more minute.
  2. To the pizzette, add 1 tsp broccoli pesto, top with 1 tsp julienne sugar snap peas and two small, pickled onions. Finally top with a sprinkle of sea salt. Serve immediately, enjoy!

Beet Pizza Dough is a fun, naturally colored pink pizza dough, Barbie-Inspired!

Ingredients

Scale
Roasted Beet Puree
  • 1 Beet
  • 1 tsp Olive OIl
  • 1 pinch Kosher Salt
Beet Pizza Crust
  • 1 cup Warm Water
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp Dry Active Yeast
  • 1 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 3 3/4 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 3/4 cup Beet Puree

Instructions

Roast Beet & Make Puree
  1. Preheat your oven to 400 F.
  2. Scrub the beet to remove any dirt then cut off the tops and bottom and peel the beet.
  3. Place the peeled beet onto a square of aluminum foil, top with olive oil, salt and pepper. Pinch and seal the foil around the beet then place the parcel onto a large sheet tray. Place the sheet tray with beet into the oven and roast for 40-50 minutes until very tender.

  4. Place the roasted beet into the bowl of a food processor with 1/4 cup water. Puree until mixture is smooth. Next, make Beet Pizza Dough.

Make Beet Pizza Dough
  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer add 1 cup of warm water, sugar and yeast. Allow the yeast to bloom for 5 minutes.
  2. Next, add the salt, flour and beet puree. Mix on low to incorporate all the ingredients, then increase the speed to medium. Add additional flour as needed to form a soft and spongy dough. Cover the bowl and allow dough to rise for 1 hour.
  3. Get ready to roll and cook the dough! Preheat your oven to 475 F. Sprinkle cornmeal onto your pizza stone or sheet tray. Set aside.
  4. Flour a countertop or large board to roll out the dough. If using a round pizza stone, divide the dough into 2 and using a rolling pin, roll out each portion into a circle. If using a large sheet tray use the entire dough and roll into rectangle shape.
  5. To roll the dough, flour the rolling pin, start at the center of the dough and roll outwards, continue rolling around the dough until you have made your circle or rectangle. Place on your pizza stone or sheet tray.
  6. Place your pan into the oven and par bake the crust for 8 minutes. Then your pizza crust is done!
