Ingredients
Scale
1.5 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, toss the cut carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
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, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl.
After 20 minutes, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven.
Pour the maple Dijon glaze over the carrots and toss to coat evenly.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 10-15 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and caramelized.
Serve hot.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze.
If you prefer softer carrots, you can roast them for a few extra minutes.
This dish pairs well with roasted chicken, pork, or fish.
