INGREDIENTS FOR GLAZED CARROTS

The star ingredient of this easy recipe is the wonderful carrot. As I had loads of them at home that I didn’t want to go to waste, I decided to make a maple syrup glaze using large carrots.

This is an oil-free maple recipe, as I wanted to make an alternative option when roasting vegetables in the oven. However, you can add or replace the maple syrup and make these delicious roasted carrots with olive oil or vegan butter.

Organic carrots, for example, if you don’t want to peel them.
