Carrot Top Pesto is a great way to reduce food waste while adding a fresh, herby twist to traditional pesto. It creates a bright, flavorful sauce that works well on pasta, roasted vegetables, sandwiches, or as a dip. I've even roasted carrots using this pesto, making the most of the entire vegetable! Reminder: Use organic carrots to ensure they are free from pesticides.

Carrot Top Pesto:
• 1 cup chopped organic carrot greens
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
• A handful of walnuts
• Salt to taste

Don't forget that you can adjust the ingredients to taste!

For 15 years, Concerned Cook has been rooted in one idea: being intentional about what’s on our plate.

What started as a focus on healthier cooking has grown into something bigger, how we source our food, how we reduce waste in our kitchens, and how we support brands and small businesses investing in eco-friendly systems, from sustainable seafood to local producers.

This Earth Day is a reminder that small choices add up 🌎
