Roast a combination of carrots and potatoes for a simple holiday side dish. The high heat concentrates the sweetness of the carrots and makes the potatoes crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside. A flourish of brightly flavored fresh dill lifts the finished dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound carrots, halved lengthwise if large and crosswise if long

  • 1 ½ pounds small red potatoes, halved if large

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • Coarse salt and ground pepper

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh dill

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees, with rack in lower third. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss carrots and potatoes with oil; season with salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer and cook until vegetables are browned in spots and tender when pierced with a knife, 40 minutes, tossing halfway through. Toss with lemon juice and dill. Serve warm or at room temperature.
