Scale
- 1 lb Fresh medium carrots
- 2 tbsp Raw honey
- 2 tbsp Pure maple syrup
- 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow to fully preheat
- Prep Carrots: Wash and peel carrots, then cut into uniform half-inch thick sticks
- Make Glaze: Whisk together honey, maple syrup, olive oil, salt, and pepper in bowl
- Coat Carrots: Place carrots on baking sheet, drizzle with glaze, and toss until well coated
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread carrots in single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap

- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet as this creates steam instead of caramelization
- Check carrots at 20 minutes and rotate pan if needed for even browning
- Let honey and maple syrup come to room temperature for easier whisking and coating
