Ingredients
  

Carrots
  • 1 pound carrots peeled and halved lengthwise

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

Carrots
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment for easy cleanup.
Glaze
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, kosher salt, and black pepper until smooth and glossy.
    2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
Roasting
  1. Add the carrots to the bowl and toss gently until evenly coated. Arrange them cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet, then roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring once after 15 minutes, until golden at the edges and tender with a slight bite.

Notes

Personal testing shows that stirring at the halfway point prevents uneven browning.
For a richer flavor, use dark amber maple syrup for deeper color.
Store leftovers airtight and reheat on a wire rack at 350°F for 10 minutes to restore crispiness.
