I am so excited to share this amazing recipe with you guys today, AND some exciting news about a new project we are launching! And am so thankful to sweet Casey for allowing me to pop over and say hello to you all!
This recipe is one of the most delicious roasted vegetable recipes I have ever put into my mouth. When I first tasted this dish I was absolutely speechless, and felt pretty cool for whipping up something so tasty in our kitchen with minimal fresh ingredients.
I know you will have the same feeling when you share this naturally gluten free AND vegan recipe with your friends and family.

Transfer the vegetables, except the tomatoes and garlic, and the marinade to a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then add the tomatoes and garlic and roast for an additional 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly blackened around the edges.
Meanwhile, prepare the pesto by combining all the ingredients into the food processor and processing until it forms a creamy paste. (You will have leftover pesto)
Cook the potato pancakes.
Take a quarter of the grated potato in your hands and form into a roughly shaped cake.
Heat just enough oil to cover the bottom of a skillet over medium heat.
put the cakes, 2 at a time, into the skillet and flatten with a spatula to form circles about 3/4 inch thick.
