Bacon-Wrapped Carrots
Crispy bacon surrounding a tender, caramelized carrot is the perfect pairing of sweet and savory.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds medium carrots, peeled and ends trimmed
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 14 slices turkey bacon
- 2 to 3 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400℉.
- Coat a baking sheet with nonstick oil spray. Place carrots on baking sheet and mist with additional oil spray. Sprinkle on salt and pepper.
- Wrap a full slice of turkey bacon around each carrot, nice and snug, placing the bacon ends on the bottom so it doesn’t unravel.
- Roast in oven on middle rack for about 25-35 minutes (turkey bacon cooks up quickly and will be ready around the 25-minute mark while fattier pork bacon will take longer to crisp up and will be ready closer to the 35-minute mark).
- Remove and brush tops with maple syrup. Place back in oven for another 10 to 20 minutes. Carrots should be fork-tender and caramelized. Larger carrots will require more time in oven.
