These carrot fries are a healthier take on a fall side dish, with a sticky maple glaze that adds sweetness to every bite. Roasting intensifies their flavor while keeping the insides tender. Serve with a sprinkle of sea salt and fresh herbs for contrast.

Ingredients (for 4-6 servings):

• 1 lb carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
• 1½ tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Toss carrots with maple syrup, olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Roast for 25–30 min. flipping halfway, until golden and slightly crispy.
