Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs (680 g / 24 oz) carrots, peeled
  • 12 slices bacon
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) black pepper
  • ⅓ cup (105 g / 3.7 oz) maple syrup
  • 1 pinch fresh parsley, for garnish
  • Use thin or standard-cut bacon. Thick-cut bacon takes too long to cook and won't get crispy before the carrots are overdone.
  • To prevent the maple glaze from burning, bake the carrots for 15 minutes first, then brush on the syrup and pepper for the final 15-20 minutes of cooking.
  • For even cooking, choose carrots that are similar in size. If some are much thicker, slice them in half lengthwise so everything cooks at the same rate.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F / 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  3. Tightly wrap one slice of bacon around each carrot, spiraling from top to bottom.
  4. Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Drizzle the maple syrup evenly over the bacon-wrapped carrots and season generously with black pepper.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the bacon is crispy and caramelized. For extra crispiness, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching closely.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
