Why you will love this
Easy - With just a little prep and a quick toss in a delicious glaze, these carrots are ready for the oven. After a short 20-minute roast time, they will be perfectly tender.
Packed with flavor - Roasting brings out the carrots' natural sweetness and creates a caramelized exterior. Toss the carrots in a maple glaze for extra sweetness and ginger for a touch of warm spice.
Versatile side dish—Roasted maple-glazed carrots are a delicious side dish that pairs well with so many things, from weeknight meals like salmon loaf to St. Patrick's Day crockpot corned beef brisket and Thanksgiving sides like roasted honeynut squash, sausage cornbread dressing, and sweet potato gratin.

Maple ginger glaze
These carrots are tossed in a simple ginger and maple syrup glaze. The syrup enhances the sweetness of the carrots, and the ginger provides a warm, spicy note. Cinnamon or cardamon could also be used.
How to prepare
These carrots don't require much prep - just peel and cut the larger ones in half lengthwise. I like roasting the carrots whole because it creates a beautiful presentation. Then, toss in the glaze, spread them on a parchment-lined sheet pan, and roast for 20 minutes or until tender.
