Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces​
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter​
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup​
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)​
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste​

 

  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.​

  2. Prepare the Brown Butter:

    • In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.​

  3. Combine Ingredients:

    • Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the maple syrup and fresh thyme leaves (if using).​

  4. Toss Carrots with Glaze:

    • Place the prepared carrots in a large bowl. Pour the brown butter and maple syrup mixture over the carrots, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.​

  5. Roast the Carrots:

    • Spread the glazed carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and caramelized, stirring once halfway through cooking.​

  6. Serve:

    • Transfer the roasted carrots to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.​

Notes

  • Carrot Size: If using larger carrots, consider halving or quartering them lengthwise to ensure even cooking.​
  • Variations: For added flavor, sprinkle chopped toasted nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, over the finished dish.​
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.​
