Maple Roasted Beets and Carrots

This maple roasted beets and carrots recipe is an easy, colorful, and healthy side dish. Perfect for your holiday table! Only 5 everyday ingredients are needed for this tasty recipe.

I figured I’d make a standard roasted beets recipe better by adding in carrots. I love carrots.

Beets… not so much. I mean they’re ok, but not my favorite. 😉

I made this beets and carrots recipe for Canadian Thanksgiving. I slightly overcooked it, so I took 5 minutes off the recommended cooking time in the recipe below.

They weren’t mush, but I do prefer my veggies to be more tender-crisp than soft.

The family liked this recipe, so that’s good.

I also have a feeling that this would be a great way to trick picky eaters into eating their beets. We’re literally sugar coating them here. 🙂

There really isn’t much to this beets side dish, which is great when you’ve got plenty of things on the go.

Coat the beets and carrots in some olive oil, roast them, take them out of the oven and add some butter and maple syrup, pop them back in the oven for a bit, and you’re done.

Easy!
