Roasted Vegetables Ridiculously Good Maple Roasted Carrots and Sweet Potatoes
I’m always on the lookout for new and exciting ways to dress up my vegetable dishes. That said, whoever thought to use maple syrup is genius because it makes such a huge difference when roasting. Not only does it give a subtle sweetness to the dish, it also helps in browning the vegetables so there’s a slightly glazed finish. I of course, added my own spin to it by adding bits of bacon on top once it’s cooked. Let me tell you, when combined, the flavors in this roasted carrots and sweet potatoes dish are absolutely heavenly. You won’t be disappointed.
