Honey Maple Roasted Carrots

Recipe Description

These Honey Maple Roasted Carrots truly are one of my favorite Christmas side dish recipes. I know you will love them too. Sweet and sticky, these carrots are one of the best Christmas sides ever. They’ve been on my Christmas table ever since the first year I made them!

To make these roasted carrots, start by placing them on a prepared pan and drizzle them with olive oil, maple syrup and honey. Season them with coriander, sea salt and pepper. Toss to coat and spread the carrots out on the pan in a single layer. Roast in the oven until they are tender and some of the edges are caramelized. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve in a festive serving bowl and scatter pomegranate arils over the top.

To make my version of Honey Maple Roasted Carrots, you will need the following ingredients:
