Clean Eating Caramelized Dill Carrots Recipe (2024)

These dill carrots are quite possibly the perfect side dish. This is a simple, one-pot dish that only calls for a few ingredients you probably already have in the kitchen.

This is a recipe my mom made for me years ago. I was so impressed with it that I’ve been making it ever since. The nice thing about this little side dish is that it’s so easy and quick to prepare. You can also prepare it vegan or non-vegan to suityour needs.

This is my favorite way to eat carrots, and my little guy loves em’ too!

About The Ingredients

Carrots – These can be any color or variety you prefer.

Dried dill – While fresh dill will work, I highly recommend dried dill for this. It just works better in this recipe.

Chicken broth– No sugar added. You can use veggie broth, too, if you prefer that.

Honey– Or maple syrup

How To Make Dill Carrots

Gather your ingredients

Peel and slice your carrots.

Put them in a pot with the broth and boil with the lid off until the broth is nearly cooked out and the carrots are soft.

Turn off the heat and quickly stir in your dill (and sweetener if using) while the carrots are still very hot.

Cool slightly and serve.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days if you use chicken broth and up to five days if you use vegetable broth.

Freezing

These will freeze well if packed properly. Freeze for up to 4 months.

Reheating

These can be reheated in a microwave or with a little extra broth in a pot on the stove.
