Instructions
- Heat the oven to 200°C

- Drop carrots into the salted water and set the timer to cook for 8 minutes
- Combine all the mustard maple glaze ingredients.
- Add 1 tbsp butter to an oven roasting tray and place in the oven for 1 minute to melt the butter.
- Drain carrots and add to the roasting tin. Roll around in the butter and season with salt (salt is needed to balance the sweet carrots in addition to the sauce). Add the mustard maple glaze and coat the carrots evenly.
- Return the tray to the oven and roast for 20 – 25 minutes or until sticky and caramelized.
- Transfer carrots to a serving plate.
- Add another tablespoon of butter to the toasting tray, let it melt, and scrape up any sticky sauce from the pan. Pour the butter over the carrots.
- To finish garnish with fresh thyme leaves and cracked black pepper.
