    Trim, peel, and halve carrots lengthwise. Quarter if carrots are thicker than 2" in diameter.

    Roast the Carrots

    Place carrots on prepared baking sheet. Top with 2 tsp. olive oil, maple syrup, 1 tsp. salt, a pinch of pepper, and smoked maple seasoning. Massage oil and seasonings into carrots.
