Equipment

  • Vegetable Brush
  • Chef's Knife
  • 2 Sheet Pans
  • Parchment Paper
  • Small Mixing Bowl

Ingredients
  

Roasted Carrots

  • 2 pounds whole carrots
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Optional Garnish Ideas

  • chopped parsley
  • chopped pistachios
  • goat cheese crumbled
  • balsamic glaze

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400℉.
  • Thoroughly wash your carrots, and pat dry. For larger carrots, slice in half lengthwise.
    Trim any greens you do not want.
  • Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Arrange the carrots in a single layer on top.
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, and dijon mustard.
  • Pour the sauce over the carrots. Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly on top.
  • Massage the carrots with your hands until they are well coated.
  • Roast in the oven for 35 - 40 minutes, flipping halfway.
    When the carrots are ready, you will be able to easily pierce a thick piece with a fork.
  • Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.
    Pour any remaining pan glaze on top.
  • Finally, top with any garnishes you prefer: chopped parsley, chopped pistachios, crumbled goat cheese, or even a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
    Serve hot and enjoy!
