Maple Roasted Carrots Recipe

Simple yet elegant and perhaps even fresh from the garden, these maple-roasted carrots are a versatile dish.

Just as perfect for Sunday brunch, as well as a picnic or a side for a roast dinner, they are sure to please the pickiest of eaters because, of course, maple syrup is involved. Children naturally love raw carrots, and you are really going to spoil them with these baked ones.

For a different flavor sensation, you could skip the dried oregano and opt for coriander instead, with a sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds upon serving for extra interest. And if two pounds of carrots sound like much, think again.

These baked carrots will go fast from the serving plate, and you will have to quickly whip up another batch if you aren't prepared for peckish guests.

Not only do these carrots look wonderful, but their lovely smell will also fill up the house with caramelized goodness, and there is no stopping the hungry inquisitive onlookers from taking a sample bite.

If you are seeking more maple syrup inspiration, you can indulge in flourless banana pancakes, a moderate stack, of course, with a smattering of fresh berries on the side.

Alternatively, you may add it to savory maple-crusted salmon, a dish that is always the highlight of a special evening. If you are in search of an easy-to-prepare main dish without added maple syrup, then we know for sure that a pork roast with Dijon glaze will be a match made in heaven.
