Maple Bacon Carrots

Maple syrup brings out the natural sweetness in the carrots and pairs perfectly with the smoky salty bacon. We used full-sized orange carrots here, but these would be so cute with mini rainbow carrots too.

Ingredients

12 medium carrots, peeled
12 strips bacon
1/4 maple syrup
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°. Wrap each carrot in one strip of bacon, and place bacon ends down on a large baking sheet. Brush all over with maple syrup and season with black pepper.

Step 2

Bake 10 minutes, remove from oven, and brush with remaining maple syrup. Bake 15 minutes more, or until carrots are tender and bacon is crisp. Serve.
