Roasted vegetables are my absolute favorite thing. I roast veggies multiple times a week and can’t believe I haven’t shared more recipes like this roasted carrots with dill and feta recipe on my blog! There will be plenty coming in the new year, because roasted veggies are such a perfect food to meal prep.
Close Up of Roasted Carrots
As the new year rolls around and many people think a bit more about the choices they are making for their health, consider how a little meal prep each week could better equip you with healthy and delicious foods. We often think of meal prepping as this massive ordeal that entails hours of time and tons of containers, but focus on simply doing something small to benefit your meals for the week. What about making some chicken in the crockpot, like this Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken? Or maybe you just cut up some veggies so you have them ready to go for snacks!
Whatever you have time for, think about just a couple small things that would add ease to your week ahead. If you are interested in learning more about meal prepping and how to make the most of it, even if that just means making smart choices at the grocery store, check out my Healthy Meal Prep Guide!
These Roasted Carrots Are Perfect for Meal Prepping
What I love so much about roasted vegetables is that they are packed with flavor and seasonings so you get excited to eat them AND they store well. Throughout the week I will either reheat them or enjoy them cold atop salads or dipped in hummus. I am nearly guaranteed to eat more veggies throughout the week if I have a couple kinds of roasted veggies waiting in my refrigerator.
