Ingredients
- Fresh medium-sized carrots
- Firm bright green brussel sprouts
- Real maple syrup
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Garlic powder
- Fresh thyme
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and peel the carrots. Cut them into even-sized sticks, about 1-2 inches long. Trim the ends of the brussel sprouts and slice them in half.
- In a small bowl, combine maple syrup, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and thyme. Whisk until well blended.
- In a large bowl, add the carrots and brussel sprouts. Pour the maple glaze over them and toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Spread the glazed vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer. Ensure they are not overcrowded to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes. Halfway through, give them a good toss to ensure they brown evenly.
- The vegetables should be tender and caramelized. If you want extra crispiness, you can broil them for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end.
- Once done, remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
