I Have Allergies

You can swap out the olive oil for butter if your health allows it (it will probably taste better!). I have a fairly bad dairy allergy that causes whole-body inflamation, I also have avocado and coconut allergies, as well as a grain allergy (used in vegetable oil). Instead I get high quality olive oil to avoid any cross contamination.

Roasted Maple-Glazed Carrots

Ingredients

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Yields: 8 servings

• 2 lbs carrots, peeled and sliced into 1-inch thick pieces
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp salt (to taste)
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced carrots with the olive oil, maple syrup, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
3. Spread the carrots out in a single layer on baking sheet
4. Bake at 425°F for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing halfway through
5. When done, carrots are tender and the edges are caramelized

Conclusion

Made really great leftovers. Reheated well and were sweet but neutral enough in flavor that I could use them with different main-dish leftovers. I initally cooked these with the honey citrus-paprika chicken, so I cooked both at the same time & needed to leave the carrots in the oven for about 10 minutes longer while the chicken rested, but I might just like my carrots a lil soft??
