Beyond shopping organic, sustainable ingredients at your local farmer’s market, there are so many ways to be eco-friendly in the kitchen. One of our favorite ways is using extra ingredients to create new recipes! The tops of carrots are a perfect example of an ingredient people think to throw out, but can actually make delicious combinations!

Here is our recipe for a vegan carrot top pesto that is good for your taste buds & even better for the 🌎!
