Ingredients

Scale

Glaze Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp grainy mustard
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper

Main Ingredient

  • 2 lb carrots

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the maple syrup, grainy mustard, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, kosher salt, and pepper. Whisk continuously until the glaze is fully emulsified and heated through, creating a smooth and flavorful mixture.
  2. Preheat oven and prep carrots: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel the carrots and trim off the green tops. Place the carrots evenly on a baking sheet.
  3. Glaze the carrots: Drizzle most of the prepared glaze over the carrots, reserving 1 or 2 tablespoons for later. Toss the carrots gently to coat them evenly with the glaze and then spread them out on the baking sheet in a single layer.
  4. Roast the carrots: Put the baking sheet into the oven and roast the carrots for 30 to 35 minutes until tender. Stir the carrots occasionally to ensure even roasting and prevent the glaze from burning. If the glaze starts to darken too quickly and the carrots aren’t yet tender, cover the baking sheet loosely with foil to continue roasting gently.
  5. Finish and serve: When the carrots are fork-tender, remove them from the oven. Transfer to a serving platter and drizzle with the remaining glaze for extra shine and flavor. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious maple mustard roasted carrots!

Notes

  • Use fresh carrots for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you prefer, you can use olive oil instead of butter for a different flavor profile.
  • Adjust the amount of mustard according to your taste preference; more Dijon for smoothness or more grainy for texture.
  • Covering with foil midway prevents burning if your oven runs hot.
  • These carrots pair well with roasted meats or as part of a vegetarian meal.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
