Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and olive oil.
- Add the sliced carrots to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated.
- Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the carrots are tender and lightly caramelized.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious side!
Notes
- You can use honey instead of maple syrup for a slightly different sweetness profile.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder with the salt and pepper.
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; this helps the carrots roast instead of steam.
