Do you guys know The Toasted Pine Nut? If not, you should! She’s an amazing food blogger with tons of innovative, delicious and mostly healthy, low-carb recipes! I had the pleasure of swimming with her for a year in college (she was a senior when I was a freshman) and we have recently reconnected via the blogging universe πŸ™‚ 

The Toasted Pine Nut, is always roasting her veggies in coconut oil. So I decided to give it a whirl with these carrots! I have been baking with coconut oil for a while now, but this was my first time trying it out on veggies! And of course, it did not disappoint! I’m not going to lie I don’t love the smell of roasting coconut oil, but it almost seemed to act as a flavor seal on the carrots and they tasted delicious. The health benefits of coconut oil are endless, so it is fantastic that it is so versatile.

You could stop there because the roasted carrots are delicious on their own and the colors make for a beautiful presentation. But why stop there?! The Toasted Pinenut drizzled her carrots with tahini and sprinkled them with pine nuts (how fitting, right?) click here for her recipe.
