What You’ll Need
- Carrots. Peel 2 pounds and cut them into sticks or thick slices. Keep the pieces about the same thickness so they finish cooking together.
- Butter. Melt 4 tablespoons so it coats the carrots evenly.
- Pure maple syrup. Use ¼ cup for the glaze. Toss it with the carrots and melted butter before roasting.
How to Roast Maple Glazed Carrots
Toss the carrots with the melted butter and maple syrup in a lightly greased baking dish or on a rimmed sheet pan. Spread them into a single layer so more of the carrots can brown against the pan.
Roast at 400°F for 25–35 minutes, stirring halfway through to coat the carrots again with the glaze. Start checking at 25 minutes. The carrots are ready when a fork slides easily into one of the thicker pieces and the glaze looks glossy.
What to Serve with Maple Glazed Carrots
Transfer the carrots to a serving bowl and spoon any glaze from the pan over the top. Serve warm with baked ham, roast chicken, or pork chops.
