Ingredients

  • 1poundcarrots, peeled
  • ¼cuppure maple syrup, or to taste
  • 2teaspoonsbalsamic vinegar
  • sea salt to taste
  • 2slicesbacon
  • 3tablespoonscoarsely chopped toasted pecans
  • chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

  • Directions

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil.

    Whisk maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, and salt together in a large bowl. Cut peeled carrots in half lengthwise and diagonally slice into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Add carrots to maple syrup mixture and stir until carrots are well coated, reserving any leftover maple mixture for later. Spread out carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

    Roast carrots for 10 minutes. Turn carrots and continue to roast until done, 10 to 15 more minutes. Depending on the size of your carrots they might even take longer.

    Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Allow to cool slightly and coarsely crumble.

    Once carrots are tender, transfer to a bowl and sprinkle with bacon and pecans. Drizzle with any leftover maple mixture and toss until well combined. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
