Maple Ginger Glazed Carrots (Oven Roasted)
Description
Maple Ginger Glazed Carrots (Oven Roasted) combines simple ingredients like fresh carrots, pure maple syrup, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic, roasted to bring out deep flavor and tender texture. The carrots are cut evenly and coated thoroughly with a marinade including soy sauce and olive oil, which helps enhance their sweetness and caramelization during roasting. The cooking time of 30-35 minutes at 400 degrees ensures the carrots become tender with lightly charred edges, while the glaze thickens slightly on their surface.
The glaze's balance of sweet maple and brown sugar with the warmth of ginger and garlic creates a layered flavor without overwhelming the vegetable's natural taste. Finishing with fresh parsley and extra black pepper adds freshness and mild pungency. This side pairs well with roasted meats or vegetarian mains as a flavorful vegetable component.
The note suggests substituting regular soy sauce with gluten-free alternatives such as coconut aminos, accommodating dietary restrictions without affecting the recipe's character.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. carrot
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup pure, 30g
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar 24g
- 1.5 Tbsp olive oil 22g
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce low-sodium, 15g
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tsp ginger minced
- 1/4 tsp salt more to taste
- 1/8 tsp black pepper more to taste
- 1 Tbsp parsley chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Wash your carrots and dry them well. The drier they are, the more the marinade will absorb into the carrots. Cut your carrots into fairly even size pieces (I cut mine at a diagonal) and place on the sheet pan.
- In a small bowl combine the maple syrup, brown sugar, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, salt and pepper.
- Pour the marinade over the carrots and toss with your hands to evenly coat.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and roasted to your liking. You could even broil them for 1-2 minutes at the end.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and freshly cracked black pepper to serve!
Notes
- Use gluten-free soy sauce or coconut aminos to make this dish gluten-free.
