  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • ¼ cup maple syrup (the real deal)
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • Fresh rosemary
  • Paprika
  • Salt & pepper to taste
For the Pecan Spiced Breadcrumb Crumble:

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp ground ginger
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Bakeware Needed:

9 x 13 x 2 Inch, Deep Rectangle PanRectangle Cake Pans - Crown Cookware


9x13 Inch, Sheet panQuarter Baking Sheet, 9" x 13" - Crown Cookware

Step-by-Step Instructions:

STEP 1: Preheat the Oven

Let’s start by preheating your oven to 420°F (210°C). If you don’t already have a high-quality 9x13 inch bakeware (like the ones from Crown Cookware 😉), now’s the time to invest. The right pan makes a world of difference when it comes to even roasting!

STEP 2: Prep the Carrots

In a large bowl, toss your carrots with olive oil, maple syrup, rosemary, paprika, garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread them out in a single layer on your bakeware lined with parchment paper. It’s time to let the magic happen in the oven.

STEP 3: Roast the Carrots
Pop those maple-glazed beauties in the oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes. Make sure to toss them halfway through to ensure even caramelization. The smell alone will make your mouth water!

STEP 4: Make the Pecan Crumble

While the carrots are roasting, whip up the star of the show—the pecan spiced breadcrumb crumble! In a medium bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, chopped pecans, melted butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread it out on a separate 9x13 inch baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes. Don’t forget to stir halfway through for even toasting!

STEP 5: Combine and Serve

Now comes the fun part! Once your carrots are perfectly roasted and your pecan crumble is golden brown, transfer the carrots to a serving dish and sprinkle the crunchy topping generously over them. Serve them warm and prepare for the compliments to roll in.
