Carrot Top Pesto

Don't bin those carrot tops! The leafy greens most of us throw straight in the compost make a seriously good pesto, grassy and peppery with a little help from fresh basil. Walnuts bring the creaminess, nutritional yeast adds that cheesy depth, and a chilled blade keeps everything bright green. It's zero waste, ready in minutes and freezes beautifully in little portions.

Step 1

Put the food processor bowl and blade in the freezer for 15-20 minutes. A cold blade stops the basil warming up and oxidising, which is what turns pesto dark. Alternatively, add 1-2 ice cubes to the processor with the other ingredients, though the pesto will be slightly more watery.
