Ingredients:

4 cups carrots
480g
1 cinnamon stick
3g
2 tbsp maple syrup
30g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tbsp ginger root
16g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the desired temperature by the time you're ready to roast the carrots.
2. Prepare the Carrots:
- Peel the carrots and cut them into sticks or your preferred shape. Make sure they are evenly sized to ensure even cooking.
3. Mix the Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, maple syrup, minced garlic, and minced ginger root. Stir well to create a uniform mixture.
4. Coat the Carrots:
- Add the carrot sticks to the bowl with the maple syrup mixture. Toss the carrots in the mixture until they are evenly coated.
5. Roast the Carrots:
- Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Break the cinnamon stick into a few pieces and scatter them among the carrots.
6. Roasting Time:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the carrots for 25-30 minutes. Make sure to stir them halfway through the roasting time to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
7. Check for Doneness:
- The carrots are done when they are tender and slightly caramelized. You can test their tenderness by piercing them with a fork.
8. Serve:
- Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Discard the cinnamon stick pieces before serving. Transfer the roasted carrots to a serving dish and serve hot.

Tips:

- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for optimal roasting.

- Peel the carrots and cut them into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.

- If you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor, you can add a pinch of ground cinnamon in addition to the cinnamon stick.

- Toss the carrots with the maple syrup and olive oil thoroughly to ensure each piece is well-coated.

- If you're short on time, you can mince the garlic and ginger to speed up the preparation.

- Halfway through the roasting, give the carrots a stir to promote even caramelization.

- For a nice finishing touch, sprinkle some chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley or thyme, over the roasted carrots before serving.
