Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds Yukon gold potatoes
- 1 large yellow squash
- 1 large zucchini
- 2 (15-ounce) cans black beans drained and rinsed
- ¼ cup pesto plus more for garnishing; see note #1
- salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste
- 1 medium avocado for serving; optional
- ½ cup roughly chopped green olives for serving; optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Slice the zucchini and yellow squash into roughly ½-inch (roughly 1 centimeter) rounds.
- Toss the potatoes, squash, drained and rinsed black beans, and ¼ cup pesto in a large bowl. Transfer to a parchment paper-lined full sheet pan (paper is optional, it makes cleanup easier). Spread into an even layer. The black beans will overlap other ingredients, that's okay.
- Roast at 425F for 20 minutes, then remove from the oven and stir. Continue roasting an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Serve topped with sliced avocado and roughly chopped olives, if desired. Enjoy!

Notes
- Pesto: I use Kirkland brand (Costco) pesto. Since pesto is the main flavor in this recipe, make sure to choose one you really like. Because pesto has varying levels of ingredients, I recommend adding salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.
- The original version of this recipe included a recipe for homemade pesto. The recipe is made with 2 cups basil, ¼ cup cashews, 1 clove garlic, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, ¼ teaspoon salt, ⅛ teaspoon black pepper, and ⅓ cup olive oil.
- Because pesto has a lot of oil in it, I don't add extra oil to the sheet pan ingredients.
