Carrot Top Pesto is easy to make and super delicious. It's the best way to use all the pretty spring carrots with the greens on top!

Carrot Top Pesto with Oven Roasted Carrots

carrots (1 1/4 lbs.)

olive oil

each: sea salt and pepper

carrot top leaves (you can use some parsley

cashews

lemon juice

garlic

Chop the carrots into 2-inch lengths, put them on a baking sheet, and toss them with the oil, salt, and pepper. Roast the carrots for 20 minutes.

Place the carrot top pesto ingredients in your food processor or small blender and blend until mostly smooth.

When the carrots are done cooking, toss them in 1/2 cup of the pesto and serve.

This is brilliant! I’ve always thrown away the tops but am trying to reduce my food waste. I wish I had known about making pesto with them years ago. It was amazing!

This pesto is SO GOOD! Honestly one of the best pesto I’ve ever made. I’m only going to buy carrots with tops from now on!

This is special. Absolutely loved it. Used rainbow carrots, but I think that slender fresh carrots would be equally delicious.
