Ingredients
  

  • 8-12 medium carrots (about 2 pounds), peeled and cut 2-inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 F.
  • Place carrots on a 9-by-13-inch baking sheet, leaving a little space between carrots. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and mix to coat.
  • Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, if using.
  • Roast in oven for 15 minutes.
  • While carrots are roasting, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, and remaining olive oil in a small bowl.
  • Remove carrots from oven and drizzle with the maple syrup mixture. Turn carrots gently to coat.
  • Return carrots to oven and roast 10-15 minutes longer, or until fork tender.
  • Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to two days.
