A delightful combination of roasted carrots and Brussels sprouts drizzled with a rich maple glaze, perfect for family dinners or festive gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb fresh carrots, sliced
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, halved
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Fresh thyme or rosemary, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and slice the vegetables: halve the Brussels sprouts and cut the carrots into even-sized sticks.
- In a large bowl, combine the carrots and Brussels sprouts. Drizzle them with olive oil, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
- Spread the glazed vegetables on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they are in a single layer.

Notes
For a deeper flavor, consider adding a splash of balsamic vinegar to the maple glaze before roasting. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to prevent soggy vegetables.
