Ingredients

Scale

Carrots

  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced

Glaze

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for roasting the carrots to perfection.
  2. Prepare Glaze: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, maple syrup, and Dijon mustard until you have a smooth, combined glaze.
  3. Toss Carrots: Add the peeled and sliced carrots to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat them evenly with the maple Dijon glaze. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
  4. Roast Carrots: Spread the glazed carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the glaze has caramelized beautifully.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley before serving for a pop of color and fresh flavor. These carrots can be served warm or reheated later.

Notes

  • These roasted carrots keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat in the oven or on the stovetop to maintain the glaze’s texture and flavor.
  • Garnishing with fresh parsley adds an attractive touch and subtle herbal note.
