Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2
In a large bowl, toss the prepared carrots with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
3
Roast the carrots for 20 minutes, or until they are slightly tender-crisp and beginning to brown at the edges.
4
While the carrots roast, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine maple syrup and butter over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted and the mixture is smooth. Stir in the pecans.
5
Remove carrots from the oven. Pour the maple-pecan glaze over the carrots and toss gently to coat. Return to the oven and roast for another 10-15 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the glaze is slightly caramelized.
6
Remove from oven, transfer to a serving dish, and sprinkle generously with fresh chopped dill before serving warm.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use baby carrots instead of regular carrots?

Yes, baby carrots work well for this recipe. You might need to adjust the roasting time slightly, as they may cook a bit faster.

Can I make this dish ahead of time?

These carrots are best served fresh, but you can roast the carrots in advance without the glaze. Reheat them, then add the freshly made glaze and pecans before serving.

What if I don't have fresh dill?

While fresh dill provides the best flavor, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon of dried dill, but add it with the glaze in step 5.
