Carrot Top Pesto Recipe

Carrot Top Pesto

This is a great recipe to get more greens in your life and use up carrot tops. Carrot tops have healthy vitamins in them, including vitamin C.

Recipe:

1 cup carrot tops

1 cup spinach

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (optional but I loved it)

1 - 3 cloves of garlic (depends on how much you like garlic)

1/2 tsp kosher salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1/2 roasted unsalted cashews

1/2 cup of olive oil

Directions:

In a food processor, blend all the ingrediants but the olive oil. After you have have blended for about a minute, slowly start adding in your olive oil. Blend until you have reached desired consistency. I like it a tad chunky.

Where you can use Pesto:

Directly mix a few tablespoons with some cooked pasta. Place it inside a sliced chicken breast and bake. Smother on some buttered toast and top with your favorite cheese and bake to melt the cheese.
