Ingredients

1 lb. carrots peeled and sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp maple syrup
salt and pepper
2 tsp parsley chopped

Instructions

Boil a pot of water. Put the carrots in the water and cook for 4-5 minutes depending on how soft/firm you like them to be.
Drain the carrots.
Drizzle the olive oil and maple syrup. Sprinkle the salt, pepper, and chopped parsley over the carrots and enjoy.

Notes

Quality of Carrots: I recommend going for the freshest and brightest carrots you can find. They are bursting with natural sweetness and flavor.

Boiling Time: You want your carrots to be tender, not mushy. That's why 4-5 minutes usually hits the sweet spot, but feel free to tweak it to match your preferred texture.

Maple Magic: You need 100% pure maple syrup for that authentic and indulgent flavor explosion.

Spice It Up: Adjust the salt, pepper, and parsley to suit your tastes. If you, like many, find boiled carrots a bit bland on their own, you'll certainly need to experiment here.

Serve 'Em Hot: Hot carrots will soak up the flavors of the olive oil and maple syrup.
