Maple Roasted Carrots with Goat Cheese and Herbs
Winter farmers market carrots are roasted with maple syrup and topped with goat cheese and fresh herbs.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. carrots chopped and sliced lengthwise into uniform pieces, or left whole if small
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
- Sea salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/3 cup crumbled goat cheese, or more if desired
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs Parsley and thyme or cilantro or tarragon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Combine olive oil with maple syrup
- Place carrots on large sheet pan and toss with the olive oil syrup mixture until coated. Season with salt and pepper.
- Roast in an oven for about 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of your slices until carrots are browned and tender. Keep an eye on carrots as they roast. The sugar in the maple syrup browns quickly.
- Remove browned carrots from the oven and sprinkle with goat cheese. Sprinkle with herbs just before serving.
