Maple-Roasted Vegetables Recipe

Serves: 4
Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 cups chopped vegetables (carrots, Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, or a mix)
• 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)
• Fresh thyme for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven
   Heat to 425°F (220°C).
2. Season the vegetables
   In a large bowl, toss veggies with olive oil, maple syrup, salt, pepper, and paprika.
3. Roast
   Spread evenly on a baking sheet.
   Roast 25–35 minutes, stirring once, until caramelized and tender.
4. Finish & serve
   Garnish with fresh thyme or extra maple syrup drizzle.

Tips

• Maple brings out natural caramelization in root veggies — sweet potatoes and carrots are especially good.
• Add pecans during the last 10 minutes for crunch.
