Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425˚F.
- Peel the carrots and cut into chunks about 2 inches in length. If the carrots are thick, you may want to cut them horizontally as well.I cut the carrots on a diagonal because it makes a nice presentation and helps to have more surface area for roasting, but you can cut them straight if you prefer.
- Transfer the carrots to a large bowl. Pour the maple syrup and melted butter over the carrots. Then add the garlic, cinnamon, ginger, salt and pepper.Toss the carrots until they are all evenly coated in the seasonings.
- Spread the carrots out on a large baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Flip and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes. Optional: Broil for the last 2-3 minutes to add additional browning to the edges of the carrots. The glaze on the bottom of the pan may burn if you do this, but the carrots will be delicious and unaffected by burnt glaze on the bottom.
- Once the carrots are fork tender, remove them from the oven and drizzle with olive oil and toss with the freshly chopped parsley.
