Maple Roasted Carrots
These maple roasted carrots are a simple, flavorful side that you can add to any dish. I personally love to snack on them with hummus and dukkah! These days, I love a super quick, easy, healthy, and flavorful recipe, and this one definitely makes the book. To beautify your plate, choose carrots of different colors, such as orange, purple and white. Did you know that the different colored carrots offer different health benefits?
Different colored carrots also taste different from each other, giving this simple oven roasted carrot dish some variation. The purple carrots are my favorite, since they are the sweetest! Next time you are at the grocery store, skip just buying plain old orange carrots and go for some color.
For this recipe, you will only need a few ingredients: carrots, olive oil, maple syrup and salt. Serve them alone as a side dish, or on a plate on top of hummus for a more fancy appetizer or snack!
