Ingredients

  • 8 large carrots about 2lbs
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter ½ stick
  • 2 tbsp light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425F and line a casserole dish or baking dish with sides with parchment paper - you may want to double line. 
  • Peel carrots, trim off the ends, and cut into pieces. Cut each large carrot into 3 pieces on a diagonal and then cut each piece in half longways. Place carrots in the casserole dish.
  • Place butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, lemon juice and salt into a sauce pan. Heat over medium-low heat until the butter melts and the other ingredients can be whisked into the butter.
  • Pour the liquid over the carrots and toss to coat them completely. 
  • Place the dish in the oven and bake at 425F for about 40-45 minutes tossing them every 15 minutes. The carrots are done when they are browned in some spots and are soft and cooked through
  • Remove from the oven and serve warm

Notes

  • You can use all orange carrots or a mix of multi colored heirloom carrots
  • To shorten prep time you can use precut baby carrots, these may cook faster so remove from the oven when they are soft enough to easily pierce with a fork
