Ingredients
Scale
1.5 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, toss the carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast for 20 minutes.
While the carrots are roasting, whisk together the maple syrup and Dijon mustard in a small bowl.
Remove the carrots from the oven and drizzle the maple-Dijon glaze over them. Toss to coat.
Return the carrots to the oven and roast for another 10-15 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
Notes
For sweeter carrots, use pure maple syrup.
You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
Ensure carrots are in a single layer for even roasting.
