These maple glazed carrots are rich, tender, and perfectly caramelized! Roasted carrots are infused with the sweet and savory flavors of pure maple syrup, garlic, vegan butter, and thyme.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 pounds thin carrots
- 1 ½ tbsp vegan butter
- 1 ½ tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Salt & cracked black pepper to taste
For serving optional
- Fresh thyme
- Flaky sea salt
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF and line a large baking pan with parchment paper.
- Wash and scrub the carrots. If they’re small and thin, leave them whole. If they’re larger, half or even quarter them lengthwise. Add them to a large mixing bowl and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once it’s melted, stir in the olive oil, maple syrup, thyme, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Add this mixture to the bowl of carrots and stir together until the carrots are coated. Transfer the carrots to the prepared baking sheet, spreading into a single layer.
- Roast the carrots, tossing halfway, for about 30-35 minutes until deeply caramelized and tender.
- Serve immediately while hot with fresh thyme and flaky sea salt on top. Happy eating!
