Ingredients

Scale

Produce

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

Condiments & Oils

  • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 4 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Seasonings

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the apples and carrots evenly.
  2. Make Dressing: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, pure maple syrup, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined, forming a flavorful glaze.
  3. Toss Produce: Add the sliced apples and chopped carrots to the bowl with the dressing and toss thoroughly until all pieces are evenly coated with the mixture.
  4. Arrange for Roasting: Spread the coated apples and carrots onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring even roasting without overcrowding.
  5. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes. Stir halfway through the roasting time to promote even browning and tender texture.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven once the apples and carrots are golden brown and tender, then serve warm as a delicious and nutritious side dish.

Notes

  • Use Honeycrisp or Granny Smith apples for the best balance of sweetness and tartness.
  • Adjust the salt and pepper based on your taste preference.
  • Stirring halfway through roasting helps achieve even caramelization.
  • For a vegan option, ensure your maple syrup is pure and not processed with animal products.
  • This dish pairs well with roasted meats or can be served as a standalone vegetarian side.
