Ingredients
- 1 lb carrots
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
- finely chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Wash, peel and trim your carrots, removing the stems. Cut larger carrots in half so that the carrot pieces are similar in thickness.
- Add 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper and 1/4 tsp of smoked paprika to a small bowl. Using a fork, whisk to combine.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay the carrots on top evenly spaced out. Drizzle the spiced maple syrup mixture over top and then use yuor hands to rub the mixture evenly all over the carrots.
- Pop the carrots in the pre-heated oven and bake them for 25-25 minutes or until they are fork tender. Turn them over at about the 15 minute mark so they cook evenly and carmelized on all sides.
- Remove from the oven when fork tender and serve warm with a sprinkle of finely chopped parsley for some colour. The parsley is optional.
