Preheat the oven to 400°F, and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray the foil with cooking spray.
Arrange the carrots on the baking sheet in a single layer then set aside.
2 pounds carrots
In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup, butter, brown sugar, and salt.
⅓ cup pure maple syrup, ¼ cup unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, ½ teaspoon salt
Use a pastry brush to apply half of the mixture to the carrots. Turn the carrots to make sure they’re completely covered, and save the leftover mixture for later.
Bake for 30 minutes then remove the carrots from the oven. Stir the vanilla into the remaining maple syrup mixture and drizzle over the carrots. Bake for another 5 to 10 minutes.
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Serve warm. Scroll up and see post for tips, FAQs, and storage options.
