The sweet and spicy flavors in these bacon-wrapped roasted carrots go really well together. This traditional side dish gets a special kick from the smoky chipotle maple syrup glaze. It's great for any event, from holiday parties to family dinners.
Ingredients: 8 large carrots, peeled and trimmed. 8 slices of bacon. 1/4 cup maple syrup. 1 tablespoon chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced. 1 tablespoon olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste. Fresh parsley for garnish.
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 400F 200C. In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup and minced chipotle peppers. Set aside. Wrap each carrot with a slice of bacon, securing it with toothpicks if needed. Place the bacon-wrapped carrots on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the carrots are tender. During the last 5 minutes of roasting, brush the chipotle maple syrup mixture over the carrots, allowing it to caramelize. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve as an appetizer or side dish. Enjoy your sweet and spicy bacon-wrapped roasted carrots!
