Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
  2. Wash and peel large carrots, then slice them into sticks for even cooking or leave baby carrots whole.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, pure maple syrup, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and optional red pepper flakes. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Add the prepared carrots to the bowl with the glaze and gently toss until evenly coated.
