These herb maple roasted carrots + brussels sprouts are a great side to make throughout the Fall, Winter, and holiday season. The hardest part to this recipe is the chopping; after that you just mix everything in a bowl with your hands. Easy peasy. They are super convenient to make right after Thanksgiving with those extra herbs you might have on hand.
The carrots will be slightly crunchy in the end as brussels sprouts cook in a faster amount of time, but I think it tastes more fresh this way. Plus, we reserve some nutrients by not really killing and overcooking the carrots.
Herb Maple Roasted Carrots + Brussels
Ingredients
- 2 lb bag of carrots, cut into 1/2 inch chunks, I used a colorful mixed bag of organic carrots
- 1 lb bag brussels sprouts, cut in half lengthwise
- 1 large leek cut into 1/2 in chunks, optional but roasted leaks are amazing
- 2-3 TBSP of freshly chopped Thanksgiving herbs – rosemary, sage, & thyme
- 2-3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 TBSP avocado oil or olive oil, I use avocado oil with baking at higher temps
- 2-3 TBSP maple syrup, depending on how maple-like you want it
- sea salt & ground pepper, to taste
Method
- Preheat oven to 400. Line a large baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper. If small baking sheets, use two.
- Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl and toss well with your hands.
- Spread out fairly flat onto the large lined baking sheet. It won’t be completely flat since it’s packed on one large baking sheet (pictured above).
- Bake for 30 minutes, move around with a spatula so the bottoms don’t burn, and bake again for about 15 more minutes. Ovens vary. Serve alongside your dinner of choice. Potatoes and salad make an easy go-to. Enjoy!
