The best part about the Sunday farmer's market in downtown Mountain View is the stand that has a sort out (ugly, overripe, bruised, imperfect vegetable) bin for 65 cents a pound! Lately there have been many carrots, zucchini, and cucumbers in the bin. So naturally I bought a lot of carrots, thinking I'd figure out what to do with them at home. We've since decided roasted carrots are the best type of carrot, especially with burrata and homemade pesto on top!
The recipe is from April Bloomfield's 'a girl and her greens' book, and available here:

I did not have any carrot tops or basil or walnuts or cheese, so I substituted Italian parsley and pistachio nuts. It was still ridiculously delicious that we've made it plenty of times since then!
