Zanahorias arcoíris asadas con glaseado de arce

Ingredientes

• 2 pounds whole rainbow carrots, small or medium (tops attached and trimmed)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 4 tablespoons good maple syrup (plus more for drizzling at the end)

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

2. 2

   Wash carrots thoroughly, especially between around the stem. Peel carrots, leaving part of the tops (the green part) on, if desired. Note: I like to roast them whole, so they get a slight crunch in the center. But if your carrots are too thick, split them in half lengthwise.

3. 3

   Arrange carrots on a large sheet pan, without overcrowding, about 1 to 2 inches apart. Toss carrots with olive oil, salt, pepper evenly. Roast for 15-18 minutes, turning halfway through, until almost fork tender.

4. 4

   Remove from the oven. Toss carrots with maple syrup and melted butter. Return to the oven and roast for an additional 8-10 minutes until caramelized, watching it so that the maple glaze doesn’t burn.

5. 5

   Arrange carrots on a serving plate and drizzle some more maple syrup if decided. Enjoy!
