Ingredients
  • 2 lbs. rainbow carrots, peeled but left whole
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tbsp. pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp. minced fresh thyme
  • 4 oz. diced pancetta

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and place the carrots on the sheet.
  2. In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together olive oil, maple syrup, salt, pepper, mustard, and thyme. Drizzle over the carrots and use your hands to make sure they are evenly coated.
  3. Place the pancetta on top of the carrots and roast for 25-35 minutes until crisp tender. For the last 5 minutes of baking time, add the pine nuts to allow them to get toasted as well.
