In honor of earth day yesterday I thought I'd share a recipe with "reduce, reuse, and recycle" at heart. Food waste is a big problem in the states, and part of that problem is not knowing what to do with all parts of the vegetable!

In this recipe we use the whole carrot: the root itself and the greens. What we get is an awesome roasted carrot with a killer spin on pesto. To top the earth day love, it is really nice out this weekend and carrots always remind me of spring. Maybe it's because bunnies eat them and bunnies are a serious spring icon. Either way, this dish seems like a great way to bring on the warm weather and celebrate mama earth.

Hope you Enjoy!!

Do you have any recipes that utilize all of the vegetable? Or use parts of a food that we would typically discard? Let me know! I'm curious to find new tricks 🙂
