Maple-glazed autumn carrots with garlic cloves are so delicious and the perfect side dish for any Thanksgiving dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 lb yellow and orange carrots
  • 10 garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons good maple syrup
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Peel and slice the garlic into wide slivers.
  3. Trim the ends of the carrots, peel them, cut them in half lengthwise, and then cut crosswise on an angle in approximately 4-inch pieces.
  4. In a large bowl toss the carrots, garlic, olive oil, and salt and pepper and stir to coat evenly. 
  5. Divide the carrot mixture evenly between two baking sheets. Roast, without stirring, until the carrots and garlic are golden brown underneath, about 30 minutes. Halfway through the roasting, switch the baking sheets on the oven rack. Make sure the bigger pieces are fork-tender and remove them from the oven.
  6. Transfer the carrots to a serving bowl, drizzle with maple syrup (which gives them a beautiful maple glaze), and sprinkle the herbs on top.
