Roasted Carrots with Pecans and Sorghum

A sweet and tangy vinaigrette made with apple cider vinegar and sorghum syrup makes these carrots incredibly flavorful. If you can’t find sorghum syrup, use an equal amount of honey or maple syrup. And be sure to choose small carrots. They will roast and caramelize more evenly and have more natural sweetness than larger ones.

  • Increase oven to 450°F. Peel carrots; trim carrot tops to 1 inch. (Discard the trimmed greens, or reserve for another use.) Toss together trimmed carrots, oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl; spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, stirring once, until browned and tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven; immediately drizzle hot carrots with vinegar, and toss to coat.
