So basically, buy some pesto then put it on a carrot

[RobinOrzo]

Why is everyone hating on this? It's an inventive way to reduce food waste. The tops of carrots are edible, why not use them in a creative way?

[jeanne]

This feels like it would be a dish at a fancy restaurant for like 50 dollars

[Steve-gvqi]

this looks like a rabbit was like nah and shat on the carrots

[shinylipscosmetics]

buzzfeed I've been on board through thick and thin but I think this is where I have to let go.

I instantly thought of that Zootopia scene where she heats that "carrots for one" microwave dinner and throws it away 😂

Carrot top pesto is actually really good, don't knock it till you try it. It has a really peppery and concentrated carrot flavor. It is similar to arugula.

When your boss says you have to bring a dish to the office party on your day off...

Not sure why everyone is hating on this. It looks delicious. What's wrong with a little bit of veggies in your diet?

[mariewdw]

This looks delicious, I love pesto. I'm too lazy to make it but, 😋 yum.

This is like when a kid gives you one of his drawings. It's terrible but you can't be mad at it because at least he tried.
