•

0.5 pound bacon
•

3 pounds carrots, ends trimmed

•

2 tablespoons pecan oil

0.5 pound butter
•

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Combine maple syrup, pecan oil, melted butter, and cinnamon in a large bowl; set aside.
Cut carrots in half lengthwise. Then cut carrots into 4-inch long pieces.
Place carrots in a baking dish and pour maple syrup mixture over them. Toss until well coated. Cover with foil.
Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, place bacon in a large heavy skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on a rimmed drop tray. Allow to cool until easy to handle and chop.
Remove carrots from oven, discard foil, and sprinkle cooked chopped bacon over carrots. Season with salt and cayenne pepper to taste.
