Apple Cider Glazed Roasted Carrots

Apple Cider Glazed Roasted Carrots offer a sweet and spiced vegetable side that highlights the natural sweetness of roasted carrots with a glossy glaze made from reduced apple cider, maple syrup, cinnamon, and rosemary. Roasting the carrots brings out their caramelized edges and tender centers, while the glaze adds a sticky, flavorful coating accented by crunchy roasted pumpkin seeds. This dish suits meals that benefit from a balance of sweet, earthy, and herbaceous notes.

Ingredients

  • 6 carrot peeled and chopped, large
  • 1/2 cup apple cider unfiltered
  • 1 Tbsp pure maple syrup

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Begin by reducing the apple cider. Pour the apple cider into a small saucepan, along with the pure maple syrup, cinnamon, and rosemary. Heat to medium-high and bring to a full boil. Continue boiling and whisking occasionally until mixture reduces to about ⅔ its original volume - this should take about 5 to 8 minutes.
  2. Once the cider has reduced, whisk in the avocado oil and sea salt.
  3. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Peel and chop the carrots and spread them on a large baking sheet.
  4. Pour the glaze mixture over the carrots. Use your hands to toss everything together to ensure everything is well-coated in the glaze.
  5. Bake 15 minutes, stir, then bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until carrots are golden brown and cooked through.
  6. About 3 to 5 minutes before the carrots have finished roasting, add the raw pumpkin seeds to allow them to roast as well.
  7. Serve roasted carrots alongside your favorite entrees and enjoy!
