DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 450°. Roast tomatoes on a lined baking sheet, sprinkle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for about 15-20 minutes, until blistered.
- In a food processor, finely chop almonds – add garlic, olive oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, vinegar, and half of the tomatoes. Mix to a coarse pesto consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste.
