Ingredients 4 cups carrot greens 4 garlic cloves, minced 3 tablespoons olive oil Pinch of red pepper flakes, to taste Pinch of salt.
Instructions Prepare carrot greens: First cut carrot greens from the carrot root, then cut the stiff stems right under where the greens start to grow.
Fill a large mixing bowl with cold water and submerge carrot stems for a few minutes, stirring or moving the leaves around with your hands to make sure as much dirt is removed as possible. Remove carrot green stems and chop garlic: When greens are dry, remove stiff stems and finely chop the garlic cloves. Sautee the greens: To a medium pan heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic and cook until it begins to brown and become fragrant, about minutes. Next add the red pepper and cook about seconds more, or until the pepper begins to release its color into the oil do not overcook or the pepper will burn.

Enjoy your carrot tops! Hi Karen! You can link to my post with your own summary, but please do not republish the content. Thanks, Linda!
I make carrot top pesto from the carrots in my garden and it is the best! Zingy and flavorful. Thanks for your post! Michael Benoit liked this on Facebook. Jasmine Ward liked this on Facebook. Tried the carrot top salsa. Tastes pretty good. No allergic reaction. Thanks for expounding on the subject of whether or not carrot tops are toxic.
I find the information u provided very interesting. Awesome — I love the science and facts in this post. Is there any way to preserve the brassica leaves in a tasty way maybe pickling? Try fermenting your broccoli greens! I love to ferment greens because it helps me go through a huge harvest in one easy swoop!
I really like your last point. I have a friend from Kenya who said they eat the squash and zucchini leaves. The squash is an amazing plant since every single part of it leaves, tendrils, stems, blossoms, fruits and seeds is edible and delicious.
I always put greens in my pasta sauce. And carrots. Today I had a small amount of fennel and a small amount of kale, but not enough.
Then I pulled the carrots out of the fridge and they had fresh, green tops on them and I had the rest of my greens. I use only the young, tender squash leaves and squash stems, and cook them as I would any other green.
A shame that the greens are delicious but so underused. Are Carrot Tops Toxic? Debunking the most common myths: Are Carrot Tops Toxic?

Leafy greens tend to contain more pesticides, due to their surface area being mainly above the ground. For this reason, and other environmental and health benefits, I recommend buying organic. This Argentinian-style green sauce, or salsa, is a thrifty way to use up carrot tops, converting them into a savoury condiment that can be used to dress pasta, vegetables or meat. One of my first jobs was at an Argentinian grill house in Honduras, Central America, where I watched the head chef like a sponge, soaking up all his tricks and mastery of food and fire.
