Description

This Maple Dijon Roasted Apples & Carrots recipe combines the natural sweetness of apples and carrots with a tangy Dijon mustard and pure maple syrup glaze. Roasted to golden perfection, this simple and flavorful side dish is perfect for adding a touch of warmth and sophistication to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Produce

  • 2 medium Honeycrisp or Granny Smith apples, cored and sliced (about 2 cups)
  • 4 medium carrots, peeled and chopped (about 2 cups)

Condiments & Oils

  • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 4 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Seasoning

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect roasting temperature for caramelizing the apples and carrots.
  2. Prepare the Glaze: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, 4 tablespoons of pure maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and salt and pepper until smooth and well combined to create a glossy, flavorful glaze.
  3. Toss Apples and Carrots: Add the sliced apples and chopped carrots to the bowl with the glaze, tossing them thoroughly to ensure every piece is evenly coated for maximum flavor infusion during roasting.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the glazed apples and carrots out in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet to promote even roasting and prevent sticking.
  5. Roast Until Tender: Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time to help the mixture brown evenly and develop a tender texture.
  6. Serve Warm: Once golden brown and tender, transfer the roasted apples and carrots to a serving dish and serve warm as a sweet-savory side dish that complements a variety of main courses.

Notes

  • For a more intense flavor, you can sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon before roasting.
  • Use apples that hold their shape well when cooked, such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith.
  • Make sure to stir halfway through roasting to prevent burning and encourage even cooking.
  • This dish can be prepared ahead and reheated gently in the oven.
