Oven Roasted Carrots tossed with maple syrup and cooked until perfectly tender and caramelized. These easy to make roasted carrots are the perfect side dish to serve on a weeknight or for the holidays!
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil
Trim and slice the carrots diagonally into 1 1/2-inch thick slices.
In a large pan or skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the maple syrup and brown sugar and cook until the sugar has melted, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the carrots and toss to combine. Season with salt to taste.
Transfer the carrots to the prepared baking sheet arranging them in one layer for even cooking.
Place in the oven and roast tossing once, for 20 to 24 minutes or until the carrots are fork tender. Remove from the oven.
OPTIONAL: For crispier, brown edges, place the sheet pan under the broiler (high heat) for 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove from the oven and serve, sprinkled with parsley if desired.
