Maple Bourbon Glazed Carrots
These maple bourbon glazed carrots roast up tender with a sweet, herby glaze that tastes right at home on any Southern table. They’re an easy, flavorful side that works for weeknights, holidays, or any cozy fall dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs carrots peeled, quartered and cut into 3 inch pieces
- 2 tablespoon melted butter
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoon bourbon
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 ½ teaspoon fresh thyme
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the butter, olive oil, maple syrup, bourbon, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper until the glaze is well combined.
- Add the carrots to the bowl and toss gently until every piece is coated.
- Spread the carrots onto the prepared sheet pan in a single layer, then roast for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and caramelized.
- Remove the carrots from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish while they’re still warm.
Notes
- If you’re using whole carrots, try to cut them into similar sized pieces so they roast evenly and get that pretty caramelized edge.
- Store leftover carrots in an airtight container for up to four days, and reheat them gently on the stovetop or in the oven so the texture stays tender.
- If the glaze feels too thick after reheating, add a small splash of broth or water to bring back the glossy finish.
