Last night I was browsing in the produce section and spotted fresh carrots with the greens still attached, I LOVE those. Last Christmas we roasted them with duck fat and they were fantastic!! I didn't have any duck fat, but I wanted those carrots. I even felt special carrying them out of the grocery store with the greens peaking up over the top of my bag.
I decided to roast them with coconut oil, and used a version of this recipe from
Nutmeg Nanny. I skipped the dill and "eyeballed" the oil.
Here are some pictures of my adventure.

It was a successful meal, and the kids LOVED the carrots.
Mm I love Catena Malbec! Is coconut oil good for roasting? I always forget about different oils other than olive...
ReplyDeleteJessica - it worked really well! I let the jar set in hot water for 10 - 15 minutes to liquify and then used. The family loved them too, and they were definitely skeptical about using coconut oil.
