Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Medium-Small Carrots peeled
- 2 Tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp Pure maple syrup
- 1 Tbsp Honey
- 1 Tsp Ground Coriander
- 1 Tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1 Tbsp Fresh Thyme Leaves
- 1/4 Cup Pomegranate Seeds
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to your taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 ̊F.
- Place the carrots on the pan and sprinkle with smoked paprika, ground coriander, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil, maple syrup, and honey.
- Using your hands gently toss to coat them well, then spread it in the pan.
- Roast for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender and caramelized on the sides.
- Garnish with pomegranate seeds and fresh thyme. Enjoy.
Notes
- Use small to medium carrots and ideally buy a pack of similar-sized ones, so they all cook at the same rate. Carrots that are too small won't have time to caramelize and if they are too big they will take too long to roast.
- Make sure to peel and trim the edges of the carrots.
- For the best maple flavor use a dark (grade A) pure maple syrup.
- If you don't like maple syrup, you can use agave syrup.
- Add some red chili flakes for an added kick!
- You can check how tender they are with a toothpick or a fork. Some may like this a bit crunchy. We love them super soft and tender.
