Equipment

1 sheet pan

Ingredients

6 large carrots washed and sliced into ½” thick slices
3 Cosmic Crisp® Apples sliced into ¼-½” thick slices
2 tbsp olive oil
3/4 tsp sea salt
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 fresh rosemary sprig
3 fresh thyme sprigs
2 tbsp butter
1 1/2 tbsp pure maple syrup

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper if needed.
Add the carrots, apples, olive oil, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, rosemary, and thyme to the baking sheet. Toss until everything is combined.
Roast for 12 minutes then stir and roast for another 10 minutes.
Meanwhile whisk together the melted butter and maple.
When the last 10 minutes are up, remove the pan from the oven. Remove the thyme and rosemary sprigs, then pour the butter and maple over the top and toss until everything is combined.
Turn the oven to broil and broil for 3-7 minutes or until everything is tender and just beginning to char and crisp up. Just watch the sheet pan during this step since every oven varies on time needed with broiling.
Let cool for about 5 minutes before serving and enjoy!
