Ingredients
- 5 cups chopped carrots (~1 ⅓ lb. as recipe is written // peeled and sliced on an angle into 1 ½-inch pieces, any larger pieces closer to stem halved — see photo)
- 2-3 tsp oil (see notes for oil-free and less-oil options)
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 1 healthy pinch each sea salt and black pepper
- 1 Tbsp fresh chopped herbs, such as rosemary or thyme (optional)
- 1-2 tsp curry powder (optional)
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Spread the carrots on the prepared baking sheet, drizzle them with oil and maple syrup, and season with salt, pepper, and—if you like—fresh herbs or curry powder to complement your meal. Toss or rub everything together until the carrots are well coated.
- Roast for 25–35 minutes, or until the carrots are golden and lightly caramelized. Give them a toss halfway through to help them cook evenly. Serve them on their own, add to bowls or salads, or pair with almost any main dish.
- Keep any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for 3–4 days. These don’t freeze well. Reheat in a 375°F (190°C) oven, in the microwave, or on the stovetop over medium heat until warmed through.
