Equipment​

• Large Baking Sheet

Ingredients​

Roasted Carrots:​

• ▢2 lbs large carrots cut into ¼-inch diagonals
• ▢2 Tbsp unsalted butter melted
• ▢1 Tbsp avocado oil
• ▢2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
• ▢½ tsp sea salt to taste

For Serving:​

• ▢½ cup feta cheese crumbles
• ▢¼ cup dried cranberries
• ▢¼ cup toasted walnuts
• ▢2 Tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped

Instructions​

• Preheat the oven to 420 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Wash and scrub the carrots well to get any dirt off the outside.
• Use a sharp knife to cut the carrots into diagonal slices, about ¼-inch thick.
• Transfer the carrots to a large bowl along with the melted butter, avocado oil, pure maple syrup, and sea salt. Toss everything together until the carrots are well-coated.
• Pour the carrots onto the prepared baking sheet, including any excess liquid, and spread them into a single layer.
• Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the carrots are golden-brown and have reached your desired level of doneness. Allow carrots to cool completely on the roasting pan before using a spatula to transfer them to a large serving bowl. Note: thinner sliced carrots will need about 15 minutes whereas thicker carrots will need closer to 20.
• Add the feta cheese, dried cranberries, walnuts and fresh parsley to the bowl with the carrots and toss to combine.
• Serve maple roasted carrots with your main dish and enjoy!
