Maple-Roasted Carrots

Here’s an easy way to enjoy a roasted effect with no cutting involved. It’s a good side dish to make while something else, like Shake-and-Bake Tofu, is in the oven (see the menu on page 138). This is one children are likely to go for.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    6 servings

Ingredients

1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into thick, 2- to 3-inch-long sticks, or one 16-ounce bag baby carrots
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon light olive oil
Pinch of cinnamon
Pinch of salt

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F.

    Step 2

    Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir together. Arrange on a nonstick baking sheet. Bake, stirring gently every few minutes, until the carrots are tender and lightly browned, about 20 minutes, and serve.

    Step 3

    Carrots come out at or near the top of two different surveys. First, they’re ranked among the most nutritious vegetables, following closely behind dark leafy greens, broccoli, and sweet potatoes; vitamin A and beta-carotene are their strong suits. Second, they are often named “favorite vegetable” by children. Sweet and crunchy, carrots are a vegetable worth having often, both raw and judiciously cooked.
