Balsamic Maple Roasted Carrots & Onions

The perfect thanksgiving side dish idea using carrots and onions roasted in a balsamic maple glaze

Y’all know how much I love roasted vegetables — most of my side dishes start with a sheet pan, olive oil, salt and pepper. It’s such an easy, DELICIOUS way of eating veggies. This recipe uses the simple Roasting Rules, with an added balsamic vinegar maple syrup glaze on top. Just perfect for Thanksgiving!

Best part about this easy side dish recipe is you can cut the carrots and onions a couple days ahead of time — then, toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast at 425˚ for about 15-20 minutes. Top with your glaze, and serve! These are even better the next day, dumped into a soup… Oh man! 

You don’t have to cut your carrots “on the bias” like I did — however, it makes them slightly more fancy. You know, “holiday” worthy.
