Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 900 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the carrots. Cut them into uniform sticks or chunks for even roasting.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, salt, and ground black pepper.
Add the carrots to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded.
Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning them halfway through to ensure even caramelization.
Once the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized, remove them from the oven.
Transfer the roasted carrots to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Maple Roasted Carrots as a delicious side dish!
