Follow these simple steps to make Maple Roasted Beets & Carrots:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for roasting.
2. Prepare the Vegetables: Peel and cut the beets into wedges and slice the carrots into thick rounds. Try to keep them uniform for even cooking.
3. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, maple syrup, sea salt, black pepper, and thyme. Whisk until well blended.
4. Coat the Vegetables: Add the beets and carrots to the bowl. Toss them in the sauce until they are evenly coated.
5. Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Spread the coated vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet. This helps them roast evenly.
6. Roast in the Oven: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the beets and carrots are tender and caramelized.
7. Check for Doneness: The vegetables are ready when they can be easily pierced with a fork.
8. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and let them sit for a few minutes before serving.

These steps create a beautiful dish that is bursting with flavor and color, making it a perfect addition to your table.
