How to Make Maple-Glazed Roasted Easter Carrots
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and position the rack in the middle.
  2. Trim the leafy tops and root ends of the carrots; peel if desired, and pat dry.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, salt, and pepper, then toss the carrots.
  4. Spread carrots in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, leaving space between each carrot.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes, until tender and lightly golden, stirring once halfway through.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder until smooth.
  7. Brush each roasted carrot generously with the maple glaze using a pastry brush.
  8. Return to the oven for 5–7 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
  9. Transfer the carrots to a serving platter and sprinkle with fresh herbs and nuts.
