Ingredients

  • 6 carrots, peeled
  • 1/4 C blood orange juice (a regular orange will work too if you can’t find blood oranges)
  • 2 T maple syrup
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 T ghee

‍

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, maple syrup, garlic, sea salt, and ghee. Place the pan on medium heat and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute.
  2. Place the carrots on a parchment-lined sheet pan and toss in 1 tablespoon of the glaze. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes.
  3. Remove the sheet pan from the oven and toss the carrots in the remaining glaze. Place the carrots back in the oven and roast for an additional 25-30 minutes, depending on the thickness of your carrots.
  4. The carrots should be soft and slightly caramelized when they are fully cooked. Serve the carrots with the thickened glazed from the sheet pan.
