Maple-Olive Oil Roasted Carrots

Roasting whole carrots  with a splash of olive oil, maple syrup, and a sprinkling of salt makes this an elegant sweet and savory side dish. For best results buy whole, fresh carrots with the tops attached. Arrange carrots fanned out on a plate for an attractive presentation.
