Heart Healthy Oils Cooking Series: Duck Fat Roasted Carrots

DASH is partnering with Strategic Wellness for Part Two of the Heart Healthy Oils Cooking Series, where we continue exploring how the right fats can support both cardiovascular health and exceptional flavor.

Duck fat has been used in traditional cuisines for generations and offers unique benefits when used mindfully. It is rich in monounsaturated fats, the same heart-supportive fats found in olive oil, and contains less saturated fat than butter and many other animal fats. Duck fat is also naturally stable at high cooking temperatures, making it ideal for roasting without breaking down into harmful compounds. Its rich flavor enhances vegetables, helping make plant-forward meals more satisfying, which is an important component of heart-healthy eating patterns.
