Directions

  1. 1Start by prepping your vegetables.
  2. 2Make sure to clean your leeks really well.
  3. 3Slice off the top of a head of garlic and then roughly chop zucchini, cauliflower, broccoli and potatoes.
  4. 4Make sure everything is chopped to roughly the same size so it cooks at an even rate.
  5. 5Put everything on a large sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper.
  6. 6Roast the vegetables at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes or until all of the vegetables are fork tender.
  7. 7While those are in the oven, make some pesto grilled cheese croutons.
  8. 8The key is toasting both sides of the bread and putting the pesto in between the cheese slices so the bread doesn't get soggy.
  9. 9Heat up some chicken or vegetable stock with some frozen peas until it's simmering.
  10. 10Add everything to a blender with spinach, parsley and a little bit more salt and red pepper flakes.
  11. 11Blend until it's super smooth and creamy.
  12. 12Serve with your grilled cheese croutons.
