Pride Month Recipe: Carrots are both tops and bottoms 🏳️‍🌈

Carrot top pesto is a delicious way to use the whole carrot. This recipe can be used for any kind of pesto, but it's design to work with root vegetables you typically only use the bottoms of: carrots, beets, turnips, and radishes.

It's extremely delicious, easy, and a good conversation starter. You can serve the carrot top pesto on roasted carrots (the same goes for beets, turnips, and radishes). Pesto also makes a great dip, sauce, or spread.

INGREDIENTS
1 bunch of carrots, tops sliced, and thoroughly washed
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup of toasted nuts
1 cup of a leafy green, like spinach
Juice of 1 lemon
150 grams Parmesan cheese
5 grams (1-1/2 teaspoons) salt
2 cloves of garlic

Put everything into a food processor and run until smooth. Adjust the texture with additional olive oil or water as needed.

Great idea as we have a big bunch of carrot 🥕 leaves. And I love pesto

It would actually be even better if you laid the carrots over some "garlic rice"....yum"
