Description
Tender, caramelized, and perfectly sweet, these maple glazed roasted carrots are an easy 5-ingredient side dish for any occasion.
Ingredients
1 lb large carrots, peeled and sliced
2 tbsp pure maple syrup
1.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced carrots with the olive oil, maple syrup, salt, and pepper until every piece is thoroughly coated.
Step 3: Spread the carrots out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they aren't crowded so they roast rather than steam.
Step 4: Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, tossing them halfway through, until they are tender and the edges are slightly charred.
Step 5: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh thyme, and serve your maple glazed roasted carrots immediately while hot.
Notes
