Carrots are a perfect example for how you can cook with zero-waste! I received my weekly Farm Fresh to You farmbox shipment and it had beautiful, orange carrots! I used the carrots to make a purée for dinner, but made sure to save the top greens for a pesto pasta lunch the next day.

Pesto is super versatile and can be made with a variety of ingredients. This pesto includes:

• Carrot Top Greens
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Lemon Juice
• Grated Parmesan
• Cashews
• Garlic Clove
• Red Chili Flake, Salt & Black Pepper

Blend everything in a food processor and adjust to taste! Serve with your favorite pasta, meat, or veggies.

Zero-waste cooking saves you money on groceries, creates another meal, and is overall better for the environment!
