Equipment

Ingredients

  • 500 g (1.1 lb) chantenay carrots scrubbed and trimmed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 75 ml (⅓ cup) maple syrup or clear honey
  • 75 ml (⅓ cup) cold water
  • 15 g (½ oz) butter
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp flat leaf parsley chopped, to serve

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.    Parboil the carrots in a large saucepan of boiling salted water for 5 minutes, drain in a colander and then set aside to steam dry for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Put the carrots in a single layer in a baking dish or roasting tin. Pour over the oil, maple syrup (or honey) and 75ml water. Dot the butter over the top. Season, cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and shake the pan. Roast for 20 minutes more without the foil until most of the liquid has evaporated. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Notes

  • Additional seasonings - for a more herby or festive twist, add some thyme, rosemary, cinnamon or nutmeg at step 2.
  • Use leftover roasted carrots in soups, salads, or even as a topping for grain bowls.
  • This sweet roasted chantenay carrots recipe can easily be adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
