Ingredients

  • 6 large carrots
  • 1½ tablespoon olive oil, melted
  • ½ tablespoon maple syrup
  • Sea salt
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 5 sprigs fresh rosemary (optional)
  • Chopped parlsey, to garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 400°F or 205°C.
  • Slice carrots in half lengthways and place on a large baking sheet.
  • Mix olive oil and maple syrup together in a small bowl, and brush over carrots to coat them.
  • Sprinkle over salt and cayenne. (Optionally add rosemary sprigs to baking sheet between carrot halves, if using.)
  • Bake in oven for 25 minutes until carrots are tender, flipping once halfway through.
  • Serve on a large plate, decorated with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

Carrots - Use large carrots so they don't shrivel up in the oven. 
Maple Syrup - I recommend dark maple syrup for extra flavour.
Cayenne Pepper - Optional, but adds a hint of heat.
Rosemary & parsley - Both optional, rosemary adds flavour in the oven and chopped parsley a pop of colour to the finished dish.
