Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds carrots, peeled
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 4 ounces crumbled goat cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (for garnish)
- For the Candied Pecans:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 cup roughly chopped pecan halves
- 1/4 teaspoon flaked sea salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Step 2: Prepare the Carrots: Place the peeled carrots in a single layer on the baking sheet. Sprinkle the brown sugar over them and distribute the butter pieces evenly. Season with salt, pepper, and cinnamon.
- Step 3: Roast the Carrots: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the carrots for 50-60 minutes, turning them 3-4 times during baking, until they are fork-tender.
- Step 4: Make the Candied Pecans: While the carrots are roasting, melt the butter in a small pan over low heat. Add maple syrup, brown sugar, and pecans, stirring for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the sea salt. Set aside.
- Step 5: Assemble the Dish: Once the carrots are done, transfer them to a serving dish. Top them with crumbled goat cheese and candied pecans. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves for garnish.
