Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Carrots
Description
This recipe transforms Brussels sprouts and carrots into a roasted side dish enriched with garlic and a hint of sweetness. The vegetables are prepared by halving the sprouts and slicing the carrots uniformly, then coated with olive oil and seasonings before roasting. The roasting process begins at a high temperature, which helps develop crispy cut edges and tender interiors. A mid-roast addition of maple syrup introduces a glaze that caramelizes, enhancing the vegetables' natural sweetness without overpowering their savory quality.
Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Carrots work well as a hearty vegetable side for a variety of main courses, especially during fall or winter meals. Their balanced texture — crisp outside and soft inside — provides a satisfying bite.
This version derives from a prior Maple Brussels Sprouts recipe, adapted here to include carrots, making the dish more colorful and varied. Monitoring roasting times closely is essential to achieve the desired crispness and avoid overcooking.

- 2-3 large carrot peeled and sliced into ½ inch
