Sweet, tangy, and caramelized roasted carrots with a maple-Dijon glaze—an elegant yet simple side dish that shines on any table.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Carrots:

  • 1 lb carrots, peeled and cut (or whole if small)

Glaze:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1½ tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp dried thyme or 1 tsp fresh thyme
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Optional Garnishes:

  • parsley, feta/goat cheese, toasted nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet.
  2. Toss carrots with olive oil, maple syrup, Dijon, balsamic, garlic powder, salt, pepper, thyme, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Spread evenly on the sheet.
  4. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and caramelized. Add 5 minutes for more color.
  5. Garnish and serve warm.

Notes

  • Single layer roasting ensures caramelization rather than steaming.
  • Baby carrots are convenient—roasting time may vary.
  • Store leftovers up to 4 days; reheat in oven for best texture.
