Notes
Spread the carrots into a single layer to ensure proper roasting. If necessary divide them into two trays but do not overfill the tray.
Cut carrots into equal sizes to ensure uniform roasting.
Do not forget to flip (toss) carrots halfway through the roasting to make sure both sides are well roasted.
The roasting time varies depending on the type of carrots used and the size you cut them into.
Ensure to roast carrots just until they start caramelising at the edges. They must be well cooked and tender such that the fork easily pierces through.
Adjust maple syrup depending on your preferred sweetness.
