Orange and Maple Syrup Roasted Carrots with Caramelised Onion and Coriander
Such a simple but effective salad dish that can be served hot or cold and will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days mixed. I use baby carrots for this but that’s just me and my OCD for presentation, but you can also use normal carrots cut in diagonal slices. This one’s great as a standalone salad but also a great accompaniment of side to a bigger main dish.
- Cuisine: Salads
- Time: 45 minutes
- Servings: Makes 4 generous portions

Method
- Peel and cut the carrots into the baking tray
- Drizzle with oil and season well with salt and pepper
- Squeeze the orange juice from the orange all over the carrots and leave the whole orange in the tray to be roasted with the carrots too. (i normally use it for garnish on top of the salad after.) and then the maple syrup too.
