Glaze Ingredients
- 4 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp grainy mustard
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
Main Ingredient
- 2 lb carrots
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the carrots.
- Prepare the Carrots: Wash and peel the carrots, then cut them into evenly sized pieces to ensure uniform cooking.
- Make the Glaze: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add maple syrup, grainy mustard, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, kosher salt, and pepper. Whisk the mixture until fully combined and smooth.
- Coat the Carrots: Place the prepared carrots in a large bowl and pour the glaze over them. Toss thoroughly to ensure every piece is well coated with the maple mustard mixture.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the glazed carrots evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
- Roast the Carrots: Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the carrots are tender and caramelized with slightly browned edges.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Enjoy warm as a flavorful side dish.
Notes
- For extra flavor, garnish with fresh chopped parsley or thyme before serving.
- Use baby carrots for quicker roasting times and a more tender texture.
- Adjust the amount of mustard depending on your taste preference for tanginess.
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
