Maple Roasted Carrots with Hazelnuts & Goat Cheese
Maple roasted carrots are the most delicious side dish! Topped with creamy goat cheese, crunchy toasted hazelnuts and bright, fresh herbs, this dish is flavorful and simple!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrots, peeled and sliced in half lengthwise
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- kosher salt and pepper
- ½ cup toasted hazelnuts, chopped
- 2 to 3 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
- ¼ cup chopped fresh herbs, like rosemary, thyme, parsley and chives
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Peel the carrots. If they are larger, you can slice them in half lengthwise. Or you can leave them whole! Place the carrots on a baking sheet. Drizzle with the maple syrup, olive oil and a big pinch of salt and pepper.
- Roast the carrots for 20 to 25 minutes, until fork tender.
- Toast the hazelnuts while the carrots roast, if needed. I place the hazelnuts in a skillet over medium heat and toast for 5 to 10 minutes, or until fragrant, stirring mostly the whole time. Then I transfer them to a baking sheet and rub a towel over them to remove their outside papery skin.
- When the carrots are finished, immediately cover them with the goat cheese cheese, hazelnuts and herbs. Serve!
