Instructions for Basil Pesto Bombs Recipe

    1

    To prepare Basil Pesto Bombs Recipe, to make basi pesto, wash the basil leaves and drain the excess water and dry them by placing them on kitchen towels.

    2

    Now place all the ingredients of the basil pesto except olive in a food processor/ blender and blend them coarsely while slowly incorporating oil while blending or adding oil in intervals.

    3

    Store this in an air tight container in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.

    4

    Wash, peel and chop the sweet potato and let it steam cook until it is completely soft. Let this cool to room temperature.

    5

    In a bowl, add chia seeds and add 1-1/2 tablespoons of water and let it swell for 10-15 minutes.

    6

    Now in a large mixing bowl add sweet potato and mash it completely add 1 cup of oat flour, chia mixture, apple cider vinegar, oregano, garlic, salt, chilli flakes and mix them all together to form a dough.

    7

    Let this rest for 15 minutes and check for the stickiness. It should not stick to your hands. If the dough is sticky add the remaining 1/4 cup oat flour and mix well.
