Maple-Glazed Coconut-Crusted Carrots

by Arielle J on January 27, 2012

Had to purchase these beautifully colorful multi-colored farm-fresh carrots…they were just too pretty. Decided to “roast” them to bring out their sweet flavor..and to fancy-them-up, I glazed them with maple syrup and crusted them with a layer of coconut. SO easy to make, so healthy and just, perfection.

Ingredients:
– Carrots (Pictured here are farm fresh- multi-colored carrots)
– Coconut Oil (or olive oil)
– Sea Salt
– Optional- maple syrup (if you want a sweeter dish)
– Optional- shredded coconut


1.Peel carrots.

farm-fresh, colorful and beautiful!

2.Slice diagonally in 1/2-inch-thick slices.

3.Toss in bowl with oil and salt and maple syrup.

Toss it up!

Toss it up!

(Coconut Oil at room temp is solidifed, which is why it looks chunky in the photo! Once heated in oven, oil will melt like regular oil)

4.Place onto parchment paper or directly onto a cookie sheet and roast in the oven for 20 minutes, until browned and tender. Toss them every 10 minutes to make sure they cook evenly.

5.Sprinkle shredded coconut on top.

Yum!

Yum!

6.Voila! Enjoy!

be sweet. be delicious. be well.
