Eating Carrots is Good Luck on New Year’s Day

My mother always told my siblings and I that we should eat peas on New Year’s Day to have money in our pockets in the new year. I don’t like peas, so I was glad to learn that in some European traditions, carrots are the vegetable that’s thought to bring financial security or assurance of wealth in the new year.

Whether you believe that or not, it couldn’t hurt to incorporate this simple roasted carrots recipe with dill into your New Year’s Day meal, just to be on the safe side. You probably get extra super-special good luck if you actually cut the carrots into round medallions like coins.

Roasted Baby Carrots Tips

Don’t bother measuring Anything

First of all, to make this roasted carrots recipe, you just spread a single layer of baby carrots in the bottom of a lightly greased 8-9 inch square baking dish. I don’t bother measuring the baby carrots. Just throw in as many carrots as you can fit.

Top the baby carrots with pats of butter. Then sprinkle them liberally with dill weed along with a little salt and pepper to taste.

I included a printable recipe card and the specific amounts at the end of this post for your convenience. But you really don’t have to measure anything. Just put enough butter to cover the carrots and sprinkle the spices on top.

Stir mid-way in Roasting

Finally, bake the roasted baby carrots in your oven. About every 10 to 15 minutes take the roasted carrots out of the oven and stir them. This will help the butter and spices to get evenly distributed among all the baby carrots.

You want soft but not mushy carrots

You want the oven-roasted carrots to be soft, but not mushy at all. If you use regular carrots that you’ve sliced into coins or medallions, you can probably reduce the overall baking time by 10-15 minutes.

Once the roasted carrots are done baking, transfer them to a serving dish and enjoy!
