Waste-Free Veg Top Pesto

Hey, don’t throw away those leafy tops of carrots, radish, or beets! Leafy top pesto is a thing, and it’s delish. This is a fantastic beetroot and radish top pesto recipe to reuse and reduce food wastage. Most elements in this recipe are made from offcuts. We served the pesto with a mix of veggie offcuts, that one would normally throw away – but actually, they make serious yummy snacks!

Veg top pesto is versatile, you can use carrot tops, mix them up, or substitute the pumpkin seeds for sunflower seeds or even almonds.
