Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrots
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and peel the carrots. Cut them diagonally into 2-inch long pieces for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, maple syrup, fresh thyme leaves, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Add the prepared carrot pieces to the bowl and toss them until they are well coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Spread the carrots out in a single layer on a large baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced for proper roasting.
Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized around the edges.
Check halfway through the roasting time to turn the carrots for even coloring.
Remove the roasted carrots from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed, to taste.
Serve warm and enjoy your Dairy-Free Perfectly Roasted Carrots!
