Easy roasted carrots with a tangy dijon dill sauce and feta are a delicious side dish the whole family will love with spring dinners. These baby friendly roasted carrots are a flavor-packed way to introduce carrots to your little one.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb carrots (about 6 medium-large carrots)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • juice from 1 small lemon
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill, plus more for topping
  • 3 tbsp feta cheese, crumbled
  • Optional for mom and dad: flaky sea salt and hot honey, for finishing

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone baking mat. 
  2. Wash, peel and cut carrots into uniform sticks about 3 inches long. Cut thicker pieces into quarters and thinner pieces in half to eliminate the round shape. Mince the garlic and chop the dill.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, dijon garlic and dill. Optional: add a pinch of salt.
  4. Add the carrots and toss to coat. Using a spoon, remove the carrots from the sauce, reserving it for later, and spread the carrots onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving a little space in between each carrot. 
  5. Roast for 30-35 minutes, or until carrots are soft. 
  6. Carefully pour the remaining dijon sauce on the carrots and stir to coat evenly. Spread back into an even layer and roast an additional 5-10 minutes.
  7. Remove carrots from the oven and sprinkle with feta and more fresh dill.
  8. For adults and older children, drizzle with honey or hot honey and sprinkle with a pinch of flaky or coarse salt after serving baby's portion.

Notes

  • Make sure to reserve the sauce after coating the carrots - you don't want to pour it all on the baking sheet or it will burn during the full roasting time. Adding it back to the carrots for a quick 5-10 minutes at the end gives the carrots all the flavor without the risk of burning.
  • You can play with the herbs and cheese you use. Fresh basil, rosemary, or thyme would all be delicious. You can also swap the feta for goat cheese.
  • Be sure not to add any honey for babies, especially little ones under 1 year of age. But DO add a drizzle at the end for adults - it really enhances the flavor! Feel free to salt the carrots for the whole family if you want, or just the adult portions.
