Maple Roasted Carrots

Ingredients

• 3 lb carrots (Scrubbed, peeled, and cut into sticks (like fries or long pieces).)
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• Kosher salt (To taste.)
• black pepper (Freshly cracked; to taste.)
• 3 tbsp butter (Melted.)
• 1.5 tbsp coconut sugar
• 0.25 cup maple syrup
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 2 garlic (Cloves, grated.)
• flaky sea salt (For finishing; to taste.)
• parsley (Chopped, optional, for garnish.)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Scrub, peel, and cut the carrots into sticks of roughly even size so they roast evenly.

3. 3

   Spread the carrots across the prepared sheet pans. Drizzle with olive oil, season with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, and rub to coat evenly.

4. 4

   Roast the carrots without stirring for 30–35 minutes, until tender and browned in spots.

5. 5

   While the carrots roast, melt the butter. Stir in the coconut sugar, then add the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and grated garlic. Whisk until combined.

6. 6

   Remove the carrots from the oven. Pour the glaze over them and toss with a silicone spatula to coat.

7. 7

   Return the glazed carrots to the oven and roast for another 10 minutes, until caramelized.

8. 8

   Finish with flaky sea salt and chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

The recipe page’s body excerpt additionally mentions red pepper flakes, but they are absent from the authoritative structured ingredient list and structured method, so they are not included.
