Blended with olive oil, garlic, walnuts, and a little parmesan cheese, they make a fantastic alternative to traditional Basil Pesto. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of our other favorite alternatives to Basil Pesto include <a href=\"https:\/\/nourishedkitchen.com\/spicy-mustard-green-pesto\/\">mustard green pesto<\/a> and this <a href=\"https:\/\/nourishedkitchen.com\/garlic-scape-pesto\/\">garlic scape pesto recipe<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-feast-feature-wrapper\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-this-recipe-works\">Why this recipe works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>It's fast. <\/strong>You toss all the ingredients into a food processor, pulse to combine, and then serve.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You'll <strong>waste less food<\/strong> and <strong>save a little on your grocery bill <\/strong>by using every scrap.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It's nutritious.&nbsp; Carrot tops contain <strong>vitamin K, beta carotene, vitamin C, minerals, and fiber<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ingredient-notes\">Ingredient Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditionally, pesto is made with herbs and olive oil, although there's a delicious version from Modena, Italy, that's made with cured pork fat and rosemary.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to herbs and oil, you'll often find nuts or seeds and sometimes parmesan cheese in most recipes. Occasionally, cooks will add a bit of lemon juice, which lends a little brightness to the fresh herbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Carrot tops<\/strong> are the foundation of this recipe. They're in the same botanical family as parsley and share a similar flavor profile with that herb.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Garlic<\/strong> gives the pesto a bright, savory element.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Walnuts<\/strong> add sweetness, depth, and a creamy quality to the pesto. You can also use other nuts and seeds, such as pumpkin seeds, pine nuts, or even pecans.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Parmesan cheese<\/strong> provides a savory element and a punch of salt to the recipe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Extra virgin olive oil<\/strong> brings the pesto together, helping it to become smooth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-recipe-tips\">Recipe Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Wash the carrot greens <\/strong>thoroughly. They tend to accumulate dirt, so giving them a good soak is a good measure. Then allow them to dry well before you make the pesto.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Trim the tough stems<\/strong>. While the long stems are edible, some food processors have trouble breaking them down, so only use the soft, tender stems and fronds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Extra virgin olive oil can become bitter<\/strong> if you process it for too long in a food processor or blender. So, add it at the very end and process it just enough to allow all the ingredients to come together.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When storing the pesto, <strong>drizzle a little extra olive oil on the surface<\/strong>. This helps it last a little longer and can help prevent browning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-feast-inline-heading-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container
