Ingredients

  • 1 pound carrots
  • 4 cloves of garlic minced
  • 2-3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley optional, chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 430ºF or 220ºC.
  • Trim the ends of the carrots and slice them. You don't need to peel them, but that's up to you.
  • Add the carrots and the remaining ingredients to a baking tray (it can be lined with parchment paper or not) and mix with your hands until well combined.
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown and tender.
  • Garnish with the chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with vegan protein like seitan or tempeh.
  • Keep the leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for 4-7 days.

Notes

  • Feel free to peel the carrots, although you don't need to if they are organic. If they're not organic I recommend you do peel them.
  • You can use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic if you want to.
  • Although I prefer to use oil, you can replace it with some vegan butter.
  • I suggest you use extra virgin olive oil, although any other type of oil will work for this recipe.
  • If you don't eat oil, use other liquids like lemon juice or balsamic vinegar.
  • Feel free to use any kind of fresh or dried herb.
  • This recipe can be made with other root vegetables, but the baking time will probably vary.
  • If you don't want to use the oven, boil, or steam the carrots for about 5-7 minutes. Then add them to a skillet with the same ingredients and cook until golden brown and tender.
  • Nutritional info has been calculated by using 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
