Carrots, carrots and more carrots!
I left some carrots in my raised beds over the winter and look how big the carrot tops grew! They were trying to escape the netting I have over the bed to keep the squirrels out.
So what to do with all those tops? I hated to waste them, so I did some searching around and came upon some recipes for carrot top pesto. Of course, I have made classic basil pesto and even arugula pesto but this was new culinary territory. I can report that this vegan carrot top pesto recipe was a wild success. Honestly, it was some of the best pesto I have ever tasted! If you’d like to try it, check out LIttle Sunny Kitchen’s yummy recipe.
But before I made the pesto, I made Roasted Carrots with Ginger Sauce, from Christina Curp’s Made Whole cookbook. Christina is one of my favorites - especially anyone who is dealing with food allergies and trying to eat a more paleo or keto diet.
Bon Appetit!
