    Carrots are a staple in our home and we always keep a bunch on hand. They’re cheap, healthy, last for weeks in the fridge, and are super versatile. You can eat them raw with hummus, roast them, sauté them, or even make carrot hot dogs.

    But, my favorite, by far are these oil-free Maple Roasted Carrots. This recipe takes mere minutes to throw together and is something you can serve for both a simple or fancy dinner. Regardless, they are sure to be one of your most requested side dishes.

    Ingredients You’ll Need

    This recipe is so easy and requires very simple ingredients. But, the flavor of the maple roasted carrots is just simply amazing. All you need to make these maple glazed carrots are…

    • Organic Carrots: I prefer small to medium organic carrots. Mainly because they look so pretty:) And I love using the greens as a garnish. But, you can use regular carrots.
    • Pure Maple Syrup: For sweetness and caramelization.
    • Low-Sodium Soy Sauce: Add a bit of saltiness to offset the sweetness just a bit. A wonderful pairing.
    • Spices: Garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and oregano add an amazing depth of flavor.
    • Red Pepper: I like adding just a sprinkle just a bit of red pepper flakes to the sauce before roasting for a tinge of heat. But, this is completely optional.

      I’m not a fan of those packaged baby carrots you always see in the market. I know, most everyone loves them but me. Anyway, I received a package in a grocery give-a-way recently and since I am also not one to waste food, I looked for a recipe which led me to your site. I followed your recipe to the letter and was pleasantly surprised at how delicious the carrots were. I left the carrots a little bit on the crunchy side and I must say I haven’t stopped eating them. Forget having them for dinner, they never made it to the table. In fact, I have been eating them straight from the fridge, cold and all. A heavenly snack. I will never look at a bag of baby carrots the same. Thank you for the recipe and for my new love of baby carrots!

      I made using the small baby carrots and they were delicious.
      Question, I poured the sauce into the parchment paper and there was quite a bit. Should I be pouring it all into the baking sheet and then can I use that sauce for the carrots by possibly adding some arrowroot flour to thicken it up a bit? Just wondering. Is there supposed to be alot of sauce in the pan?

        Hi, Frances! The amount of sauce can be different. But, adding the arrowroot starch is a good idea.

      While the carrots tasted good, my sauce burned & stuck to the pan. Any tips to keep that from happening?

        Hi, Tracey and sorry that happened. A couple of things: 1) every appliance is different, including stovetops so some my burn hotter than others. You could try lowering the heat to 325 and be sure to use parchement paper so nothing sticks to the pan.

        Hope this helps,

      Absolutely delicious! Such a tasty marinade, the flavor was unbelievable! A definite keeper, l made these as well as your wonderful roasted potatoes and didn’t mind at all when some of the marinade got on my potatoes! Please keep the recipes coming.

      These are sooo good. I used Tamari as I didn’t have soy sauce.

      Would coconut aminos work instead of the soy sauce?

        Sure. It will have a slightly different taste. But, should work well with the carrots.

        Hi, Kathy! I would try 400 degress for about 15 minutes. Here is an online calculator that can also help. https://www.airfryercalculator.com/
