Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Wash the carrots thoroughly under cold water, dry, and cut them diagonally into 1-inch thick pieces.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, brown sugar, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger, adding salt and pepper.
  4. Pour the marinade over the carrot pieces in a large bowl and toss until evenly coated.
