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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, maple syrup, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well mixed.
Step 4
Add the carrots to the bowl and toss them until they are fully coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Step 5
Spread the carrots in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding the tray to allow the carrots to roast evenly.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
While the carrots are roasting, finely chop the fresh parsley and thyme.
Step 8
Once the carrots are done, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
Step 9
Sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley and thyme over the roasted carrots before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary with additional salt and pepper.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy!
