    JUMP TO RECIPE

    Tender and flavorful maple roasted carrots with sage and garlic, perfect as a side dish to any meal.

    If you're looking for a simple, low-effort side dish with minimal ingredients, these maple-roasted carrots fit the bill - without compromising flavor! You can make this recipe even easier by using baby carrots instead of cutting up whole ones.

    Roasted carrots go great with meatloaf, a holiday roast, and so many other main meals - even Thanksgiving dinner. They are the perfect balance between sweet and savory. My favorite part is the bit of a glaze the maple syrup adds to the carrots after roasting. Mouthwatering deliciousness.

    Instructions

    Roasted carrots are super easy to make.

    Bowl of carrots tossed with maple syrup and seasonings.

    Peel and cut carrots into pieces about 2 inches in length. For particularly thick pieces of carrots, I will cut them smaller so they cook evenly. Toss with remaining ingredients.

    Pan of carrots ready to be roasted.

    Place carrots on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Toss so they are coated evenly.

    Bake until tender and lightly browned, tossing every 10 minutes or so.

    Substitutions & Variations

    • Sweetener: You can use brown sugar in place of maple syrup. Mix 2 tablespoons of brown sugar with 2 tablespoons of water.
    • Sage: Use 1 teaspoon of dried sage in place of the fresh sage.
    • Baby carrots: These are a great substitute if you can't or don't have time to peel and cut whole carrots. Use 2 pounds worth.
    • Seasoning: You can leave out or add different seasonings based on your preference. Don't like sage? Leave it out or replace it with parsley. For spicy carrots, add a little cayenne pepper.

    Storage

    Store leftover carrots in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. You can heat them back up in the microwave or the oven.

    You can freeze roasted carrots for up to 3 months.
