These maple glazed carrots with bourbon have convinced us that everything is better after you add a little booze. Roasted until caramelized and finished with a buttery and sweet but not too sweet glaze, these truly scrumptious carrots have secured a spot at our table all autumn long, both weeknights as well as fancier occasions.–Angie Zoobkoff

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds carrots and/or parsnips, peeled and halved lengthwise if thicker than 1 1/2 inches (3.5 cm)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 1/2 oz)
  • 1 medium clove garlic, grated
  • 3 tablespoons bourbon
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

Directions

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  • 2. Place the carrots and/or parsnips on the foil, drizzle with the oil, and toss to coat. Spread in a single layer and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
  • 3. Roast the vegetables, turning once, until they’re tender and, if desired, slightly charred, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • 4. While the vegetables are roasting, in a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • 5. Stir in the bourbon, maple syrup, and vinegar, and cook until the glaze thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • 6. Drizzle half of the glaze over the vegetables, return to the oven, and roast until the glaze bubbles, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • 7. Transfer the vegetables to a platter and drizzle with the remaining glaze. Serve hot, warm, or room temperature.
