Transform carrots into a delicious holiday side dish with just a few ingredients.

Ingredients:

0.5 pound bacon
3 pounds carrots, ends trimmed
0.33 cup pecan-smoked pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons pecan oil
0.5 pound butter
0.5 teaspoon cinnamon (such as Supreme Saigon®)
salt to taste
cayenne pepper to taste

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to a toasty 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
In a large bowl, mix together maple syrup, pecan oil, melted butter, and cinnamon, and set it aside.
Halve the carrots lengthwise, then chop them into 4-inch long pieces.
Spread the carrots evenly in a baking dish and drizzle them with the delicious maple syrup mixture. Gently mix until each carrot is nicely coated. Cover the dish with foil to lock in the flavors.
Roast in the preheated oven until soft, for around 30 minutes.
In a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon, turning occasionally, until it's evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer the cooked bacon to a rimmed plate to drain and cool before chopping.
Take the carrots out of the oven, uncover, and generously top with crispy chopped bacon. Season with salt and a touch of cayenne pepper to enhance the flavors.
