Carol, if you like roasted vegetables , try roasting carrots. The roasting method caramelizes the outsides and makes them almost as delicious as sweet potatoes.
Your friend is right on. Raw thick carrot matchsticks play nice with crunchy guys like jicama, sweet onion or radish, topped with a savory sauce. I vaguely recall a similar mixture, lightly pickled.
My uncle grew really sweet onions that he never cooked, and often are like an apple. His go-to sandwich was a pile of avocado, raw sweet onion rings, and too many alfalfa sprouts on pumpernickel. Seven-year old me was not a fan, but it's been a long walk from there.
Mostly here to reiterate my appreciation of your gorgeous veg photography.
My carrot tops have always gone straight into the compost pile, but the idea of making a pesto is intriguing. I'll have to give that a try!
Love this idea too!
I subbed out carrot tops for the basil in my favorite recipe, but I ended up adding another big handful of carrot tops.

Thank you! I’m not sure it’s my photography. These farmers take such care in displaying their naturally photogenic produce. It’s art. I just show up!
