Ingredients

For the Vegetables

4 medium carrots sliced on the bias
2 medium apples cored and cubed; Honeycrisp or Granny Smith
1 medium yellow onion diced
3 cloves garlic chopped

For the Glaze

2 tablespoons olive oil or aquafaba for a vegan option
3 tablespoons maple syrup pure
2 tablespoons stone ground Dijon mustard

For Seasoning

1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon thyme fresh or dried

Instructions

Preparation

Begin by coring and cubing the apples, slicing the carrots on the bias, dicing the onion, and chopping the garlic. Aim for uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, maple syrup, stone ground Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Whisk until well blended and smooth.
Add the prepared apples, carrots, onion, and garlic to the bowl. Gently toss everything together, ensuring the vegetables are evenly coated in the delicious glaze.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the coated mixture onto a baking sheet in an even layer. Roast for 15 minutes until the vegetables are nicely browned on one side.
Carefully turn the mixture to promote even cooking, then return it to the oven. Roast for another 10 to 15 minutes until the carrots and apples are tender and beautifully caramelized.
Once roasted to perfection, adjust the seasonings as needed. Serve your Savory Maple Dijon Roasted Apples & Carrots warm as a delightful side.

Notes

Optional: Garnish with fresh thyme leaves for an extra pop of flavor. For the best results, reheat leftovers in the oven to maintain the delicious glaze.
