Step-by-Step Instructions for Maple Dijon Roasted Carrots
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash the carrots thoroughly. Peel and cut larger carrots into even-sized sticks or leave baby carrots whole.
  3. In a bowl, combine olive oil, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, thyme, and red pepper flakes to make the glaze.
  4. Transfer the carrots to a bowl and toss them with the glaze until evenly coated.
  5. Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on the baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding.
  6. Roast the carrots for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
  7. Remove from the oven, garnish with parsley, feta or goat cheese, or nuts, and serve warm.
