Kale and Mushroom Quesadillas with Roasted Garlic Aioli
Kale and Mushroom Quesadillas with Roasted Garlic Aioli are a quick and easy weeknight meal that's packed with flavor. The roasted vegetables add a smoky, earthy flavor to the quesadillas, while the roasted garlic aioli adds a creamy, garlicky richness. These quesadillas are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and they're also great for meal prep.
I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a way to use up some leftover kale and mushrooms. I had been roasting vegetables all week, and I was getting a little tired of the same old roasted vegetable recipes. I decided to try something different and made these quesadillas. They were so good that I've been making them ever since.
