Well, if you have the opportunity to have fresh organic produce, like those that I get from my weekly harvest share (hi, Deeper Roots Farm!), you can try to make the most out of them and reduce waste in the process. Carrot tops are really easy to turn into a quick sauce or condiment that has a sharp, earthy but sweet taste. Indeed, this is just one of many ways to use them so don’t be scared in trying out different avenues. I came up with a sauce that pairs really well with roasted vegetables. It reminds me of a garlicky parsley dressing and I want to try with roasted potatoes next. You don’t need to cook the carrot tops for this recipe if you get them fresh and healthy but if you have any doubts, I would suggest blanching them for 3 minutes in hot water and rinsing after. I have also blended some carrot tops on their own and kept them in the freezer to add to soups. https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/beetroot-ketchup monthly 0.5 2023-09-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/636ecd4eea50003d09fdaeb8/1693676030165-7ONDPXOTI5EF4QWNBA7B/Beetroot+ketchup.jpg Recipes - Beetroot ketchup - This isn’t your typical ketchup. The earthy and sweet flavor of beetroots pairs really well with whatever you use ketchup for. But let’s circle back. Why a beetroot ketchup you ask? First, why not. Second, it’s really satisfying to make your own condiment at home. And last, well, I first had this ketchup version with fries at an amazing vegan restaurant in Halifax, called EnVie. And yes, if you go to Halifax, you have to check it out. I don’t know why, I don’t know how, but it works. And once you try it, you are just compelled to eating it more and more and more. I am so glad I was able to come up with my own recipe for this and now I doubt I will buy ketchup at the store anymore. The only things you need are beetroots, crushed tomato, vinegar, maple syrup and spices. An oven, a blender and a stove. That’s it. Let’s get to it! https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/spinach-smoothie monthly 0.5 2023-06-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/636ecd4eea50003d09fdaeb8/a9d078d5-fab6-4dd2-855a-782c2a81ccdc/super-spinach-smoothie.jpg Recipes - Super spinach smoothie - Eat your greens! I mean… Drink your greens! Smoothies are here to stay! They are a great option for a nutritious breakfast on the go. It literally takes two minutes to put everything in the blender! This spinach smoothie is one of my personal favorites. Not only it is delicious and fresh, but it also offers a great way to use fresh baby spinach (I see you big bag of spinach bought at the beginning of the week!) and ripe bananas. I like to keep some ripe bananas (cut in big chunks) in the freezer, to use for smoothies and other cold deliciousness! In this blog post, I'll share two variations of this smoothie —one featuring protein powder (I use the Vega Sport peanut butter protein powder) and another incorporating equally nutritious hemp seeds. This is the smoothie that made my mom like the idea of smoothies (with spinach at that!) so if it got the Caribbean mom seal of approval, it must be good! https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/extra-banana-bread monthly 0.5 2023-06-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/636ecd4eea50003d09fdaeb8/974c1a74-ff59-42b4-8d7a-ccd09618fc7c/lotsa-banana-bread.jpg Recipes - “Flavor Five” banana bread - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/roasted-radishes-whipped-tofu monthly 0.5 2023-06-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/636ecd4eea50003d09fdaeb8/135f68d5-10e7-4ed1-9c6c-c3c675d27d32/roasted_radishes_whipped_tofu.jpg Recipes - Roasted radishes, sweet potatoes and whipped tofu - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/vegan-coco-kiwi-overnight-oats monthly 0.5 2023-06-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/636ecd4eea50003d09fdaeb8/1680708757852-VMOAH86JBSFQ2VHFBIZE/PSX_20210520_184136.jpg Recipes - Vegan coconut and kiwi overnight oats - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/plantain-chips monthly 0.5 2023-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/636ecd4eea50003d09fdaeb8/6a1bf434-41f8-44b0-9325-10251d1a6943/plantain-chips Recipes - Plantain chips https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/plantain-cookies monthly 0.5 2023-04-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/636ecd4eea50003d09fdaeb8/bd36c2eb-8a4d-449d-a189-ff0f967d0c66/plantain-cookies Recipes - Plantain and peanut butter cookies - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/chocolate-peanut-flan monthly 0.5 2023-04-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/636ecd4eea50003d09fdaeb8/c2b3443a-4e1a-4492-bb66-f348381b8434/DSC03291-2.JPG Recipes - Chocolate and peanut butter Parisian flan https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/vegan-plantain-fritters monthly 0.5 2023-04-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/636ecd4eea50003d09fdaeb8/163d7b79-439a-4e07-9358-de28af1058cc/Beignets-carnaval-plantain Recipes - Beignets de carnaval à la banane jaune (vegan plantain fritters) https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/category/Breakfast monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/category/Chocolate monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/category/Sweet monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/category/Desserts monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/category/Snack monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/tag/snack monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/tag/Cake monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/tag/Desserts monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/tag/Drink monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/tag/Tofu monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/tag/Dessert monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/tag/Plantain monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/tag/French monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/tag/Oven monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/tag/Dinner monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/tag/Sauce monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/tag/Sweet monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/tag/Spinach monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/tag/Condiment monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/tag/Savory monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/tag/Carnival monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/tag/Breakfast monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/tag/Chocolate monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/tag/Snack monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/tag/coconut monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/tag/Lunch monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/tag/Banana monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/tag/Smoothie monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/tag/Flan monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/tag/Roasted+vegetable monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/tag/breakfast monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/recipes/tag/sweet monthly 0.5 https://www.akagayou.com/about daily 0.75 2023-04-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/636ecd4eea50003d09fdaeb8/bf2c1454-9826-4b4e-8590-1eaed4dd8906/Chocolate+peanut+butter+flan https://www.akagayou.com/welcome daily 1.0 2023-06-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/636ecd4eea50003d09fdaeb8/163d7b79-439a-4e07-9358-de28af1058cc/Plantain+sweet+carnival+fritters
