Use baby carrots or heirloom carrots if you could find them. Adding pesto is an easy way to elevate the flavour of this humble root vegetable. It makes a perfect side dish or even a lunch. Swap the yoghurt for a dairy-free alternative if you have a dairy sensitivity. Leftover pesto is perfect on some pasta or served as a dip.
| | Pumpkin Seed Pesto |
|---|
- 750 g Small carrots, trimmed and peeled
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tsp Peppercorns, crushed (I used a mixture of green, black and pink)
- Fresh thyme leaves
- Garlic salt (or regular sea salt)
- Baby arugula leaves, to serve
- Greek-style yoghurt, to serve
- Toasted pumpkin seeds, to serve (optional)
|
- 50 g Arugula leaves
- 20 g Flat parsley
- 1 Garlic clove, crushed
- 50 g Pepitas (pumpkin seeds), toasted
- 20 g Parmigiano-Reggiano, finely grated
- 80-100 ml Extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and black pepper
|
- Preheat oven to 200C/400F. Arrange carrots on a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with crushed peppercorns and fresh thyme. Season with salt. Roast, turning occasionally, for 30 minutes or until golden and tender.
- Meanwhile, to make pumpkin seed pesto, place arugula, flat parsley, garlic, pepitas and grated Parmesan in a food processor. Process until finely chopped. With the motor running, add oil in a thin, steady stream until well combined. Season.
- Arrange the carrots and rocket on a serving platter. Drizzle with the pesto and yoghurt. Sprinkle with pepitas if using.

I've never thought of carrots with pesto. But I can actually taste it without actually having some of a plate in front of me. Sounds yummy. Happy new week Angie. Hugs-Erika
beautiful colours with the orange and green
Perfect finger food at a party!
I am not the biggest carrot eater . . . but find their marriage with pesto here very inviting and shall try - looks so appetizing!
Yum. Love me some carrots.
I love carrots but I never thought of roasting carrots. Looks yummy.
Que bien debe oler tu cocina mientras asas las zanahorias y con ese pesto estarán deliciosas.
Bss
I like baby carrots.
I bet I would enjoy this pesto.
WoW very different recipe. We like carrots and consume them alot. Looks great.
It's Judee- I do love roasted carrots and your toppings put them over the edge. I also love the presentation with the whole carrot as opposed to sliced carrots.
Looks lovely especially in that green and orange colour combo! I am making steamed and grated carrot salad with mayo, eggs and scallions tomorrow for lunch.
Roasted carrots are always a family favourite. I just love the festive colours on this plate too.

So beautiful! I use pumpkin seeds a lot, and sometimes use them in my pestos instead of pine nuts, especially if I’m also using cilantro.. But your combination is wonderful!!!
This sounds amazing . Happy Christmas and all the best for 2023. Diane
