Roasted Carrots 

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C  and prepare a baking tray by lining it with baking paper
2. Begin by trimming the tops and of the carrots. If you have larger carrots, it's a good idea to cut them into equal-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
3. Transfer the cleaned and trimmed carrots onto the lined baking tray.
4. Pour over the maple syrup, oil, chili, salt, and pepper: Drizzle the maple syrup and oil evenly over the carrots. Sprinkle the chili, salt, and pepper evenly over the carrots as well.
5. Gently toss the carrots in the maple syrup, oil, and seasonings until they are evenly coated. You can use your hands or a spatula to do this.
6. Arrange the coated carrots in a single layer on the baking tray. Make sure they are evenly spaced to allow for even cooking and caramelization.
7. Place the baking tray with the carrots in the preheated oven and roast for about 20 minutes or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelised. Keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking.
