Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Maple Bacon Carrots

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Place a wire rack on the lined sheet pan if available, or set the wrapped carrots directly on the parchment paper.
Wrap each thin carrot with a slice of bacon, starting from the top and working down, avoiding overlap.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Mix together maple syrup and chopped thyme in a bowl.
After 30 minutes, remove the pan and baste the carrots with the maple-thyme mixture.
Return to the oven and roast for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until bacon is crisp and carrots are tender.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
