Brown Butter-Maple Glazed Heirloom Carrots
These brown butter-maple glazed heirloom carrots are quite simple to make and taste so delicious. I made a quick glaze of brown butter, real maple syrup, and white wine vinegar then roasted the petite carrots tossed in half of the glaze. Once the carrots were beautifully roasted, I drizzled the rest of the glaze on top and served them with some chopped parsley. These beautiful and delicious brown butter-maple glazed heirloom carrots are easy enough to make for a weeknight meal but nice enough to serve to company.
How to Make Brown Butter-Maple Glazed Heirloom Carrots
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Melt the butter over medium heat in a small saucepan, stirring often, until melted. It will start to bubble, foam, and separate then will turn golden brown with a nutty aroma. Side Note: Watch the butter carefully while cooking because it can burn quickly & easily.
Remove from the heat and immediately add the vinegar and stir; add the maple syrup and stir until well combined. Side Note: Be careful because it will pop and splatter a bit.
Arrange the carrots on the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
Drizzle half of the browned butter sauce over the heirloom carrots then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste, then toss to coat evenly. Reserve the remaining sauce for serving.
Bake until the carrots are caramelized and fork-tender, about 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through roasting. Side Note: These carrots were thin & petite, If your carrots are larger, they will take longer to roast.
Transfer the carrots to a serving platter. Reheat the reserved sauce until warm then drizzle it over the heirloom carrots. Sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve and enjoy.

So colourful. pretty and yummy!
I’m always looking for carrot recipes and Bev likes them glazed so these look perfect for us.
Love all the colors of these carrots! And brown butter? Maple syrup? I’m in! These look great — thanks.
Pretty sure you could put that glaze on anything and I would eat it!
Should be 30 -35 mins at 425.
Carrots are not even half done at 25mins at 375
They tasted fine but i had them timed to serve with steaks.
Mike,
Darn! If the carrots are larger & thicker, they will definitely take more cooking time. Mine were very thin & petite and turned out fork-tender and delicious. I’m glad you enjoyed the taste though.
