Creamed Kale and Carrot Tops: One of My Favorite Carrot Top Recipes


  • Author: Marie Bostwick
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

  1. Heat olive oil in large, heavy bottomed saucepan over medium high heat. Add chopped shallots and cook until soft and translucent, about 4 to 5 minutes. Lower heat slightly. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes.

    until cheese is melted. Stir in salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings if
    needed.
