Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ lbs carrots, peeled and cut into evenly sized pieces (or use baby carrots)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the carrots: If using whole carrots, peel them and cut them into uniform pieces (about 2-3 inches long) so they cook evenly. Baby carrots can be used as-is.
- Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Toss the carrots: Place the carrots on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. Pour the maple glaze over the carrots and toss to coat them evenly.
- Roast the carrots: Spread the carrots out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the carrots are caramelized and fork-tender.
- Garnish and serve: Once the carrots are out of the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley or thyme if using, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
