Description
A delightful dish featuring earthy beets and sweet carrots, roasted to perfection with a maple syrup glaze.
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized beets, peeled and cut into wedges
- 4 large carrots, peeled and sliced into thick rounds
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- Optional: Crumbled goat cheese for serving
Instructions
- Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for roasting.
- Peel and cut the beets into wedges and slice the carrots into thick rounds.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, maple syrup, sea salt, black pepper, and thyme. Whisk until well blended.
- Add the beets and carrots to the bowl. Toss them in the sauce until they are evenly coated.
- Spread the coated vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet.

- Remove from the oven and let them sit for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
These roasted vegetables can be served with grilled meats or as part of a salad. Sprinkling crumbled goat cheese adds a tangy contrast.
