As a child I always loved cooked carrots.
In fact, they were one of my favorite vegetables. As an adult I find I rarely ever make them. However, that is going to change. These roasted beauties reminded me why I love carrots so much. The roasting brings out the natural sweetness and gives the carrots a delicious caramelized flavor.
Before putting the carrots into the oven I drizzled them with melted coconut oil and seasoned them with kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper. After the carrots where done roasting I finished them off with a sprinkle of dill.

Yield: 4 side dish servings
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 6 whole carrots – tops removed and peeled
- Coconut oil* (you could also use Olive oil)
- Kosher salt
- Fresh ground pepper
- Fresh or dried dill
Source: Inspired from Bon Appetit
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Cut the top off the carrots and peel. Drizzle with coconut oil, sprinkle with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Roast until desired doneness. I roasted my carrots for approximately 10 minutes.
Once carrots are done take them out of the oven and top with dill.
*Quick note about coconut oil: Make sure to use non refined coconut oil. Also, coconut oil is solid so you will have to melt down the oil before drizzling it onto the carrots.
I love roasted carrots, and these are so beautiful! I always chop them into chunks, but they are so much prettier whole.
This sounds delicious! I’ve never used coconut oil. I guess it’s time I give it a try!
mmmmmm- I love carrots in any form. I bet the coconut oil is awesome with them. Just fantastic
I love carrots so much more when they’re roasted! Throw on some coconut oil and dill…and I’d be in heaven.
Roasted veggies. Delicious simplicity! I love the dill here–sounds so good!
I love how you roasted them whole. That’s brilliant.
Yum… These sound fantastic. And, your photos are just stunning!!
oh. how does that taste with the coconut oil as compared to olive oil?
It gives off a slight coconut flavor but is not overpowering. It works perfectly with the carrots. It’s also great for roasting sweet potatoes.
