Maple-Roasted Carrots with Fresh Thyme

These maple-roasted carrots bring warm, cozy flavors that feel right at home as the days get cooler. The sweetness of maple syrup caramelizes in the oven, while fresh thyme adds a bright herbal note. It’s an easy side dish that feels comforting yet a little special.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs carrots, peeled and cut into even sticks
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, plus extra for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment.
2. Toss the carrots with olive oil, maple syrup, salt, pepper, and fresh thyme until evenly coated.
3. Spread the carrots in a single layer on the sheet pan without crowding.
4. Roast for 22-28 minutes, stirring once halfway, until tender and lightly caramelized.
5. Finish with a sprinkle of extra thyme before serving.

Tip

If your carrots vary in size, slice the thicker ones in half lengthwise so everything roasts evenly.

A warm, simple side like this deserves a spot on your fall table, save it for your seasonal boards and try it soon.
