The method

1

Pre-heat oven to 180°C. Place your washed carrots in a bowl with caster sugar, rapeseed oil and white miso, get your hands in there and coat the carrots completely with the mixture. Roast them for 20 minutes.

2

Once they are roasted, set aside. Toast walnuts for 10 minutes at 180°C, place into a blender and blitz to a crumb. Remove from blender and set aside.

3

Next, blanch the spinach in boiling salted water and strain. Give it a good squeeze (once cooled) to remove excess water. Place spinach, washed carrot tops, oil, lemon zest and juice in the blender and blend until smooth. Mix in your walnut crumb and it's ready to use. Serve carrot with pesto hot or cold. Enjoy!
