For more easy yet flavorful carrot side dishes, try our buttered carrots and roasted broccoli and carrots. These dill carrots with lemon dill sauce are incredibly delicious and really take the humble root to the next level. They’re tangy, sweet, and tender and they go with just about anything. Roasting them brings out their natural sweetness and flavor, and the dressing just enhances what’s already happening. Simply roast the seasoned carrots in the oven until tender. While they’re roasting, stir together the dressing. Transfer the cooked carrots to a serving bowl, toss them with the dressing, and crumble some feta cheese overtop (if you’d like). Serve these dill roasted carrots alongside everything from chicken and steak to pork chops, fish, and casseroles. They’re even elegant enough for special occasions and holiday menus!
Carrots tossed in olive oil– we use regular carrots sliced into diagonal rounds, but any shape will work. You can peel them if you like, or keep the skin on for added nutritional benefits. Look for the super fresh ones at your local farmer’s market in the spring! Seasonings – we use a mix of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Feta cheese – optional, but delicious.
Here’s what you need for the lemon dill dressing:
Olive oil – the flavor of olive oil works really well in this dressing, but you can use your favorite oil if you prefer. Lemon juice – for a bright pop of citrus flavor and acidity. Honey – the sweet taste of honey balances out the acidity of the lemon and enhances the natural sweetness of the carrots. Dijon mustard – for a bit of tangy, sharp heat. Minced fresh dill – we love the taste of fresh dill, but dried dill also works in a pinch.
