I thought the pesto was a bit too oily. I would reduce the amount of olive oil next time.

The roasted carrots were a bit overcooked, but the cilantro walnut pesto was delicious. I'll try again with a shorter roasting time.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices or herbs.
