Ingredients:

4 cups carrots
480g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
2 tbsp maple syrup
30g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- 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.
2. Seasoning:
- 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.
3. Roasting:
- 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.
4. Cooking:
- 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.
5. Serving:
- 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.
6. Optional:
- 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.
