Maple Oven Roasted Carrots
Who’s ready for Thanksgiving? I know I am! I feel like fall brings with it all of my favorite foods. From pumpkin everything to comfort food galore, autumn is definitely alive and well in my kitchen.
This past weekend I made these Maple Roasted Carrots to serve alongside a rotisserie chicken and they were such a big hit with the kids I’ll be adding them to my Thanksgiving menu this year as well. Why not when it’s a super simple three-ingredient recipe??

How to Roast Carrots in the Oven
Roasting carrots couldn’t be easier. For this sweet roasted carrots recipe, simply lay the carrots on a rimmed baking sheet and pour butter and maple syrup over top to coat. Pop in the oven and you’re all done!
How Long to Roast Carrots at 425 Degrees
I find that 25 minutes in the oven leaves the carrots perfectly roasted. They are tender but not mushy and perfectly caramelized!
Do You Have to Peel Carrots Before Roasting?
Many people don’t peel carrots before roasting so long as they are scrubbed clean but I find the skin to be slightly bitter and prefer to peel them prior to roasting.
