Description
These roasted Dutch carrots are sweetened with maple syrup and complemented by fresh thyme, creating a delicious side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 bunches Dutch carrots
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves (approx.)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch of cayenne pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Wash the Dutch carrots and trim the green tops, leaving a little stem if you like. Slice any larger carrots in half lengthways so they cook evenly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, olive oil, thyme, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper.
- Add the carrots to the bowl and toss to coat evenly.
- Transfer the carrots to a baking dish and pour over any remaining glaze.
- Roast for 30 minutes, turning halfway, until the carrots are tender and lightly caramelised.
- Serve warm, spooning over the glaze from the baking dish.
Notes
- Ensure that the carrots are of similar size for even cooking.
- Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper based on your spice preference.
