This recipe combines carrots with just a few simple ingredients to create a flavorful glaze that enhances the natural sweetness of the carrots.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Rinse the baby carrots thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- In a large bowl, combine the baby carrots, olive oil, and maple syrup.
- Toss the carrots until they are evenly coated with the olive oil and maple syrup mixture.
- Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet. Ensure there is enough space between them so they roast evenly.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast the carrots for 20-25 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they cook evenly. The carrots should be tender and slightly caramelized when done.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the carrots to cool slightly before serving.
- Transfer the glazed baby carrots to a serving bowl or plate.
- For an extra touch of flavor, you can sprinkle a pinch of sea salt or some fresh herbs like thyme or parsley over the roasted carrots before serving.
Tips:
- Use fresh, young baby carrots for the best flavor and texture. If you can't find baby carrots, you can use regular carrots cut into smaller, uniform pieces.
- For an added depth of flavor, consider sprinkling a pinch of sea salt or a dash of cinnamon onto the glazed carrots before serving.
- Make sure to preheat the oven to ensure even cooking and caramelization of the glaze.
- To save time, you can also cook the carrots by steaming them first before tossing them in the glaze and quickly broiling them in the oven.
- You can experiment with adding different herbs like thyme or rosemary to the glaze for a more complex flavor profile.
With minimal ingredients and a straightforward cooking process, glazed baby carrots are an excellent addition to any meal. The combination of maple syrup and olive oil creates a delicious glaze that elevates the humble carrot into a delectable side dish. Serve them up with your favorite main courses for a balanced and tasty plate.
