Instead of relying on pine nuts, which are expensive and are problematic for those with nut allergies, this pesto gets its nutty flavor from roasted chickpeas. Be sure to make a whole batch of the roasted chickpeas so you have extra to serve as a side with another meal or on the salad bar. You can use this pesto for any number of dishes, from pizza to pasta, chicken or fish, or in a Caprese salad with mozzarella and fresh tomatoes. It also freezes really well, so go ahead and double the recipe and you’ll have plenty on hand for the next time it’s on the menu!
