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
- Preheat oven to 425 F (218 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add carrots to the baking sheet and drizzle with oil and maple syrup, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and, optionally, fresh herbs or curry powder (whichever flavor profile matches your accompanying dish(es) best). Rub/stir to evenly distribute.
- Cook for 25-35 minutes, or until carrots are golden brown and slightly caramelized, tossing near the halfway point to ensure even cooking. Enjoy as is, or in bowls and salads or as a side to nearly any main.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Not freezer friendly. Reheat in a 375 F (190 C) oven, in the microwave, or on the stovetop over medium heat until hot.
