This recipe for Maple Roasted Carrots makes a side dish that’s perfectly cooked with nicely glazed with sweet maple syrup and herby thyme, and it’s really easy to prepare. Serve these carrots at any holiday dinner, or even a nice Sunday dinner with the family.
Depending on the size of your carrots, cut them in half lengthwise, and possibly in half or thirds widthwise so you have 3-5 inch long pieces. You want your carrot pieces to be roughly uniform in size so they all cook at about the same rate.
In a small bowl combine next 6 ingredients (oil through maple syrup). Place carrots and thyme springs in a 13x9-inch baking dish. Pour maple syrup mixture over the carrots and toss to coat.
Cover the dish with foil, and bake at 350° F for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 25 minutes, until slightly browned and caramelized.
