FAQ
Can I use baby carrots instead of whole carrots?
Yes, you can use baby carrots if you prefer. Just be mindful that they may cook a little faster than whole carrots, so keep an eye on them while roasting.
Can I make this recipe with turkey bacon?
Absolutely! Turkey bacon works well as a lighter option, though it won’t get quite as crispy as regular bacon.
Can I use maple-flavored syrup instead of pure maple syrup?
While you can, I recommend using pure maple syrup for the best flavor. Maple-flavored syrups tend to be overly sweet and lack the depth of flavor that pure maple syrup provides.
How can I make these carrots vegetarian?
You can make a vegetarian version by swapping out the bacon for thin slices of roasted vegetables like zucchini or eggplant, but keep in mind the texture will be quite different.
