Not sure what it’s like around your kitchen, but we always seem to have a half bag of carrots in our I don’t know about your kitchen, but I always seem to have a half bag of carrots lingering in my fridge. That’s exactly why I love recipes like these dill roasted carrots—they’re quick, simple, and turn a humble vegetable into something I actually get excited to serve. Roasting brings out the carrots’ natural sweetness, and the lemon-dill sauce takes them into crave-worthy territory.
The carrots come out of the oven tender and lightly caramelized, then are tossed in a bright, tangy dressing made with lemon juice, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, and plenty of fresh dill. The flavors are fresh and balanced—sweet, citrusy, and a little savory—and if I’m in the mood, I’ll finish them with a crumble of feta for a salty, creamy contrast.

The fresh dill dressing takes a basic roasted carrot to the next level! So good! Unfortunately I had to leave out the feta when I found out mine had gone bad. I halved the recipe and served as a side with the juicy pork chops and extra crispy roasted potatoes which are two other fabulous recipes from the blog.
I’m so glad you loved it! 😊 That fresh dill dressing really does make those carrots shine. Too bad about the feta, but it sounds like it still turned out delicious — and that whole plate with pork chops and crispy potatoes sounds amazing. Thanks so much for cooking along and sharing! 💛
Love this side dish! I really like the addition of the dill dressing and the feta to these wonderfully tender carrots.
I’m so glad you loved it! 😊 That dill dressing with the feta really does bring everything together. Thanks so much for making it and for taking the time to leave a note!
Made this delicious side dish today and WOW is all I can say. The flavours meld together famously. I used a grainy dijon and a goat/Sheep feta. Those are the only deviations to Kristen’s recipe.
Definitely adding this side to my roster. So good and so tasty 😋💯❤️
Wow — I love hearing that! 😊 Grainy Dijon is such a great choice, and that goat/sheep feta sounds incredible. I’m so glad it’s earned a spot in your regular rotation — that’s the best compliment. Thanks so much for sharing! 💛
I made these for the cooking club. I really liked the flavors, and they were a nice winter veg to serve with Greek-inspired chicken. For me, it took a while to cut the carrots, so plan to allow more than 40 minutes total, but worth it if you have the time!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the flavors! 💛 They really do pair so nicely with Greek-inspired chicken. And yes — carrot prep can take a little time, but I’m happy to hear it felt worth it in the end. Thanks so much for sharing your experience!
This recipe was super quick and easy to make, also tasted amazing.

So much flavor for a little old carrot ~ what’s up, Doc! I added the zest of my lemon for a little extra pow but it was already over the top in sensational. Thank you for an amazing recipe. PS added feta cheese also had one portion with Tajin seasoning for xtra kick which worked
This made me smile — “what’s up, Doc!” 😂🥕 I’m so glad you loved it! Lemon zest is such a great call for an extra pop, and feta plus a little Tajín sounds like a seriously delicious combo. I love how you made it your own. Thanks so much for sharing!
Wonderful recipe, so full of flavor. Used carrots from the garden. The feta kind of got lost when plating, should have added after the were on the plate. Next time, which will be soon.
I’m so glad you loved it! 😊 Garden carrots must have been amazing in there. And great note about the feta — adding it right at the end on the plate is a perfect way to keep that flavor front and center. Thanks so much for sharing!
Baby carrots are a favorite snack in my house so there are always some that need using up. They roasted up beautifully and were delicious but I think the star is the dressing! It is light and fresh and so good!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 😊 Roasted carrots are always a win, and I’m thrilled the dressing was the star for you — that bright, fresh flavor is exactly what I was going for. Thanks so much for making it and sharing!
AMAZING! Kids and adults all LOVED them.
That makes me so happy to hear! 😊 When both kids and adults love it, that’s the best kind of win. Thanks so much for leaving a note!

Bought 5 lbs of carrots and fresh dill and found this recipe. So simple and delicious. Added the zest with my fresh lemon juice. Looking forward to eating this all week!
This was a such a delicious and easy recipe! It went perfect with our grilled chicken. So good!
I love how this recipe is a refined sugar free and gluten free option. Always got so many carrots to use up, making your recipe again today!
Love to roast carrots for company. Adding the lemon – dill is a wonderful surprise. I am very anxious to this recipe. Feta is really a game changer, yes?
