Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots peeled
- 1 large sweet potato or 2 smaller ones
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Chop the sweet potatoes and carrots into pieces about 3/4 to 1 inch thick, aiming for a uniform size. Place the vegetables in a large baking dish.
- Add the minced garlic, olive oil, maple syrup, thyme, rosemary, cinnamon, and salt to the dish. Toss well to coat all the vegetables evenly with the oil and seasonings.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring halfway through the baking time. The vegetables should be caramelized, lightly browned, and easily pierced with a fork when done.
- Remove from the oven and serve warm.
Notes
- Leftovers: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven; the texture holds up well after reheating.
- Ingredient Swaps: Orange sweet potatoes are used here, but feel free to substitute with Japanese sweet potatoes or butternut squash. Fresh rosemary and thyme can replace dried herbs if preferred, though dried versions work perfectly.
