That’s all there is to these maple roasted carrots! You can easily scale up the quantities if you need to serve lots of people, just spread them over a couple of trays when you roast them. If you’re using Dutch carrots, or any variety that still have the tops attached, then just trim the tops first. You don’t want them to burn!

Carrots have always been one of my absolute favourite vegetables – so much so that I rarely bothered to do much to them when I cooked them. However, now that I know how delicious these maple roasted carrots are I think they’ll be served like this more often!
