The method

1

Set the oven to 170° C fan forced (or 190° C / 375° F no fan) and line one large baking tray (or two smaller ones) with baking paper.

2

Trim any green tops off the carrots (from May to Nov you can make pesto of them) and cut carrots into halves lengthwise.

3

In a bowl, combine olive oil, 3 tbsp maple syrup, harissa paste, thyme leaves (about 1 tbsp), garlic, salt and a good pinch of black pepper.

4

Coat dry carrots in the maple and harissa mixture (keep any left overs) and space them out on a large baking tray. If you have a large tray, place cranberries at the other end, if not use two separate trays.

5

Roast for about 20-25 minutes, until carrots are tender and the exterior slightly caramelized. If you have any leftover carrot marinade, apply it with a brush again half way through the baking time.

6

Place roasted carrots on a large serving platter. Sprinkle with fresh thyme.
