Stop throwing away carrot and sweet potato peelings
If you're familiar with my recipes, you've probably noticed that I use carrots or sweet potatoes a lot. They usually need to be peeled, and it always hurts me a bit to throw away these vegetable skins, which are often full of good nutrients.
To avoid this, I had suggested some recipes for sweet potato peel chips or potatoThis works for sweet potato peelings, but not so well for carrot peelings.

Strongly inspired by Jean François Piège's book.
But thanks to Jean François Piège's great book, Zéro Gaspiwhich I recommended as Christmas presentI was able to try out a recipe for carrot and sweet potato peel cake. And it's just delicious! I've changed the basic recipe a little, which I find a little too fatty, but it's still very tasty.
So far, I've tested this cake using only shower potato peelings, only carrot peelings and a mixture of the two. It all works. If I find other ingredients to reuse in it, I'll update the recipe.
How to eat this peel cake?
This savory cake can be enjoyed as an aperitif. Cut into small pieces and serve on a plate with a toothpick. A bit like a zucchini and goat's cheese cake, or a bite-sized piece of bread with cheese.
It can also be eaten as a main course, and served as my lunch for several days. Add a simple green salad to serve and you've got a great meal in front of you.
Get cooking!
