Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb carrots peeled and cut into 2 1/2-inch chunks
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 3/4 tsp kosher sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Place carrots on a standard size baking sheet.
  • In a small heavy-bottom stainless saucepan set over medium-low heat, add the butter. Once melted begin whisking constantly. The butter will begin to foam, then the bubbles will widen and dissipate. Continue whisking until you begin to see small brown flecks form at the bottom of the pan and it will smell nutty. This generally takes about 5-8 minutes. Remove from the heat, taking care not to burn the butter.
  • Pour into a small mixing bowl. Whisk with maple syrup and salt.
  • Drizzle over the carrots and toss to coat. Place in the oven and bake for 25-35 minutes. Check the carrots around the 20-minute mark with a fork to see if they are tender. Continue baking as needed (the thicker carrots will need longer).
  • Remove from the oven and serve warm.
