# What You'll Need:
→ Main Components
01 -
900 grams carrots, less than 1.3 centimeters thick, peeled
02 -
450 grams thin-sliced bacon
03 -
60 milliliters pure maple syrup
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Set the oven to 200°C and allow it to preheat fully.
02 -
Tightly wrap one slice of bacon around each peeled carrot, starting at the thicker end. Ensure bacon layers do not overlap for even crisping.
03 -
Place each wrapped carrot onto a wire rack fitted over a baking sheet, ensuring space between each carrot for air circulation.
04 -
Bake for 25 minutes until bacon begins to crisp and carrots are becoming tender.
05 -
Remove tray from oven and brush all surfaces of the bacon-wrapped carrots with maple syrup to glaze evenly.
06 -
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 8 to 10 minutes, or until bacon is deeply caramelized and carrots are tender throughout.
07 -
Carefully remove carrots from rack and serve immediately while hot.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
For uniformly cooked results, select carrots of similar thickness and avoid overlapping the bacon.
