Ingredients

  • 1 bunch carrots
  • 2 cups carrot tops
  • 1 cup fresh tarragon
  • ¼ cup pine nuts
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoon water or more

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450°.
  • Place carrots on a baking sheet, then drizzle them with a little olive oil (approx. 2 tbsp) and sprinkle them with a pinch of salt.
  • Roast carrots for 30 minutes, or until carrots are done to your liking.
  • While carrots are roasting, make the pesto. Add all ingredients to a food processor and pulse until everything is combined. You may have to scrape down the sides of your food processor a couple times in order for everything to mix. Also, if you have trouble getting it to mix, add more water 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • Once carrots are done, place them on a plate or your serving dish, top them with the pesto and enjoy!
