Select fresh carrots (not baby carrots) that sport a little green on the top.
Cut off the top 2 inches from the crown of one or more carrots.
Place the tops in a shallow saucer, cut side down.
Add water so that half of the carrot top is submerged in the water.
Place the saucer on a windowsill where it will get light.
Add water to the saucer as needed to keep the tops from drying out.
The carrot tops will sprout in about 1-2 weeks.
