Ingredients

  • 2 pounds carrots
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 orange

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425F. For easy clean up, line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Peel the carrots then cut them on the diagonal about 2-inches long. Make sure all the pieces are approximately the same size to ensure even cooking.
  • Place the carrots in a large mixing bowl, along with the olive oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger and salt–toss to coat then spread them into a single even layer. Note: if vegetables are too crowded on a baking tray they will steam rather than caramelize. It is crucial to arrange the carrots in one single layer with plenty of space in-between each piece. Use two baking trays if you have to.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the carrots are tender, tossing once halfway through.
  • Grate the zest of one orange over the carrots then toss to coat. Serve warm.

Notes

 
Storing and Re-heating Leftovers:
  • Leftover roasted carrots can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in a preheated 375F oven or in the microwave.
