Ingredients

Servings
  • 907 g young carrots, trimmed, peeled, plus 1 cup coarsely chopped carrot tops
  • 120 ml plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 120 ml coarsely chopped roasted, salted pistachios, divided
  • 480 ml (loosely packed) basil leaves, plus more for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 205 °C. Toss carrots with 2 Tbsp. oil, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, tossing occasionally, until carrots are golden brown and tender, 25–35 minutes. Let cool.

  2. Meanwhile, pulse 60 ml pistachios in a food processor until a coarse paste forms. Add carrot tops and 480 ml basil. Pulse until a coarse purée forms. Add remaining 120 ml oil and pulse until combined; season with remaining 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper.

  3. Transfer carrots to a platter. Drizzle with pesto, then top with basil leaves and remaining 60 ml pistachios.
