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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for roasting the carrots to perfection.
- Prepare Glaze: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, maple syrup, and Dijon mustard until you have a smooth, combined glaze.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

- Garnishing with fresh parsley adds an attractive touch and subtle herbal note.
