Maple Roasted Carrots

This is truly the most delicious and fool-proof recipe that you need to make this Christmas!! Or whenever really… they’re just THAT good. Plus, you only need 6 simple ingredients, LETS GO 👏

ingredients

• 1kg carrots
• 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
• 1.5 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp sea salt
• black pepper
• 3-4 sprigs thyme, leaves only (or sub for 1 tsp dried thyme)

method

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C / 180°C fan. Line a baking tray and set aside.

Step 2

Peel your carrots, slice off the tops and ends then roll cut on an angle to create even bite sized chunks.

Step 3

Add into a bowl along with the maple syrup, olive oil, salt, pepper and thyme. Note: DO NOT skimp out on the salt, it makes a world of a difference with bringing out the sweetness and balancing the flavours!

Step 4

Toss well to coat then spread out into an even layer on your baking tray.

Step 5

Bake for 40-45 minutes, giving it a toss at the halfway mark for even cooking. It should be completely tender and the maple mixture will have caramelised on the outside of the carrots.

Step 6

Remove from the oven, garnish with extra thyme and serve!
