Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables & Fruits

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

Sauce

  • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 4 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for roasting.
  2. Prepare Glaze: In a mixing bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, maple syrup, olive oil, salt, and pepper until you achieve a smooth, well-combined glaze.
  3. Coat Apples and Carrots: Add the sliced apples and chopped carrots to the bowl with the glaze. Toss thoroughly to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the maple Dijon mixture.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated apples and carrots on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they have space to roast evenly.
  5. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time to promote even caramelization and browning.
  6. Serve Warm: Once the apples and carrots are tender and golden brown, remove from oven and serve immediately as a flavorful side dish.

Notes

  • Use Honeycrisp or Granny Smith apples for the best balance of sweetness and tartness.
  • Stir halfway through roasting for even caramelization.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste depending on your preference.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding fresh thyme or rosemary before roasting.
  • This dish pairs well with roasted meats or can be served as a wholesome vegetarian side.
