- 2 pounds baby carrots, patted dry
- 1/4 cup real maple syrup
- 1 medium orange, zested and juiced
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried tarragon
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fleur de sel, or other coarse salt, to finish
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, add baby carrots that have been patted dry. Add to the bowl: 3 tablespoons maple syrup, orange zest and juice, olive oil, tarragon, and regular salt and pepper to taste. Toss.
Step 2
Add entire contents of the bowl (carrots, juices and seasonings) to a baking sheet, spreading out carrots so they are in a single layer.
Step 3
Roast for 35-40 minutes until carrots just start to caramelize, tossing halfway through.
Step 4
Right out of the oven, drizzle carrots with about a tablespoon more of maple syrup. Toss and serve with a sprinkle of fleur de sel.
