- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Yield: 6 servings 1x
- Diet: Vegetarian, Vegan
Description
This easy roasted carrot recipe features a delicious maple-chile glaze with charred tips, making it a flavorful and vibrant side dish for any meal. It’s a versatile, family-friendly option perfect for busy weeknights, offering a healthy and budget-friendly vegetable dish.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs fresh carrots, peeled, trimmed, halved or quartered lengthwise
- 0.25 cup pure maple syrup (dark amber grade)
- 1–2 tsp chile powder, adjusted to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat And Prep: Preheat your oven to a steady 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Wash, peel, and cut your carrots into uniform halves or quarters lengthwise to ensure even roasting and desired charred tips.
- Whisk The Glaze: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pure maple syrup, chile powder, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined, forming the Maple-Chile Glaze.
- Toss And Coat Carrots: Add the prepared carrot pieces to the glaze mixture. Toss thoroughly until every carrot piece is evenly coated and shimmering. (If the glaze seems too thick, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to help it spread evenly.)
- Roast To Perfection: Spread the glazed carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring space around each piece for caramelization and charred tips. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until tender-crisp, caramelized, and slightly blackened.
- Serve And Enjoy: If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or parsley for color and freshness. Serve immediately.
Notes
For quicker prep, use pre-cut carrots. An air fryer can cook them at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, shaking occasionally. For extra savory depth, add a pinch of garlic powder or ground cumin to the glaze.
