Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 pound carrots
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh thyme or rosemary, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (optional)
  • Chopped pecans or walnuts (for topping)
  • Dried cranberries or pomegranate arils (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a heavy baking sheet inside to heat.
  2. Prepare the Brussels sprouts by trimming tough stem ends and cutting in half. Peel and slice carrots diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
  3. Dry the vegetables thoroughly with a kitchen towel to ensure crispiness.
  4. Make the maple glaze by whisking olive oil, maple syrup, vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, and fresh herbs in a bowl.
  5. Toss the vegetables in the bowl with the maple glaze until evenly coated.
  6. Arrange the vegetables on the preheated baking sheet in a single layer, cut sides down.
  7. Roast in the oven for a total of 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through for even browning.
  8. Optional: Drizzle melted butter over the vegetables when finished roasting.
  9. Add toppings of toasted nuts and dried fruit before serving.
  10. Serve warm as a side dish or part of a vegetarian spread.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven to regain crispness.
