Ingredients

• 500 grams carrots
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.

Step 2

Wash and peel the carrots. Cut them into evenly sized sticks or rounds, depending on your preference, to ensure they roast evenly.

Step 3

In a large bowl, toss the carrots with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the carrots in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through for even cooking.

Step 5

While the carrots are roasting, prepare the maple glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the maple syrup, butter, minced garlic, and thyme leaves. Stir constantly until the butter melts and the glaze is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 6

After 20 minutes of roasting, remove the carrots from the oven and drizzle the maple glaze over them. Toss gently to coat the carrots with the glaze.

Step 7

Return the glazed carrots to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and caramelized.

Step 8

Transfer the carrots to a serving dish, garnish with additional thyme leaves if desired, and serve warm.
