Dill Roasted Carrots

Start off the new year with these dill roasted carrots, a quick and healthy vegetable side dish.

Happy 2017! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year, filled with amazing people and food. I took a little break from the blog while I was on vacation visiting my best friend in Florida (post about that coming soon), and now I’m home and ready to start the new year off right.

I got a little off track this holiday season, but actually not as bad as I have in the past. Definitely ate a few too many cookies, but that happens and I’m ready to start eating healthier and feeling good again. What better way to do that than a Whole30?! Yep, I started my third Whole30 on Sunday, meaning no grains, dairy, legumes, sugar, or alcohol for me. After my first two Whole30s, I felt amazing (read about my first Whole30 here)–I just struggle keeping that mindset after the 30 days. I know how crappy certain foods make me feel, but sometimes I continue to eat them anyways. I’m all about indulging every once in awhile (especially if it’s dessert), but this time around I’m going to work harder at continuing to eat whole foods that make me feel great.

That being said, what food is healthier than vegetables?! During the next month, my recipes will all be Whole30 compliant, starting with these dill roasted carrots.

Roasting veggies is my absolute favorite way to prepare them. They get such a yummy, sometimes caramelized, flavor, and it’s so nice to do a little prep but then let the oven do the work. Carrots are probably my favorite vegetable to roast. They get super sweet and soft, and the dill, salt, and pepper in this recipe add a nice little flavor without overpowering the carrots. I LOVE dill, so I usually end up adding way more than the recipe calls for.

I thought I’d start the year off with an especially easy and healthy recipe. Happy roasting!
