Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 grams fresh carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and peel the carrots. Trim the ends and cut them into uniform sticks or rounds about 1/2 inch thick to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, maple syrup, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well mixed.
Add the carrots to the bowl and toss them until they are fully coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Spread the carrots in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding the tray to allow the carrots to roast evenly.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and lightly caramelized. Turn the carrots once halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
While the carrots are roasting, finely chop the fresh parsley and thyme.
Once the carrots are done, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
Sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley and thyme over the roasted carrots before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary with additional salt and pepper.
Serve warm and enjoy!
