The Perfect Holiday Meal Side Dish
Do you have a favorite side dish for your holiday dinners? There are the staples of course, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, stuffing, they are all stars in my eyes!
Sometimes I like to mix things up, too! Not to deviate from the norm; just to add a little bit of something different.
If you are like me, these Maple Butter Roasted Carrots are the perfect addition since they are so beautiful and they pair perfectly with roasted meats or just on their own!
How to Roast Carrots
Roasting carrots is super easy; just toss the carrots with olive oil and salt and pepper and roast them in your oven on a parchment lined baking sheet.
No fancy ingredients or equipment needed. If you’re looking for an even easier recipe, try roasting baby carrots using the same instructions!
Can Maple Butter Roasted Carrots Be Made Ahead of Time?
I would make this recipe towards the end of your cooking time, maybe even while the turkey is resting. Your oven will already be heated up and then you can just throw these in.
The reason I wouldn’t make them ahead is because I don’t think they’d sit well texture-wise.
