Maple Roast Carrots

No planning ahead needed here: maybe just peel your carrots!  This is such an easy and delicious side it's always a go to.  To make it even easier, you can substitute any root vegetable (adjust cook time according to size) or any sweetener: out of maple syrup? use honey, brown sugar, maple sugar, maple cream, agave syrup, etc.

Maple Roast Carrots

Ingredients

• carrots
• olive oil
• maple syrup
• salt & pepper, to taste

There's hardly even a recipe here: just toss your desired amount of carrots in enough olive oil and maple syrup to coast and season with salt and pepper.  Put in a 425 oven and roast for about 20 minutes until tender.  ​
