Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 pounds medium carrots scrubbed and trimmed, see notes below
  • 4 tablespoons butter cubed
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons parsley minced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 425f and set rack to the middle level.
  2. Trim top ends of carrots. Cut thick carrots into thinner strips and leave the thinner carrots whole.
  3. Line a baking sheet with foil and spread carrots and butter around. Drizzle carrots with maple syrup and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  4. Roast carrots for approximately 45 minutes or until tender. Every 10-15 minutes mix carrots with the melted butter and maple syrup to evenly coat.
  5. For more color, the carrots can be broiled for the last 60-90 seconds but watch very carefully to not burn. Sprinkle with parsley and serve. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Makes 4 large or 6 moderate-sized servings.
  • Large thick carrots should be cut lengthwise in half or quartered.  All the carrots should be roughly the same thickness for uniform cooking.
  • Use multiple pieces of foil if necessary.  The goal is to allow easy clean-up and to prevent losing any of the syrup and butter.  
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the oven at 325f until warm or with a microwave.
