Method

  1. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. You can do this while the turkey is resting. Place the carrots on a large baking tray, toss with the oil and plenty of salt, then spread out in an even layer. Cover with foil and roast for 10 mins, then remove the foil and cook for 20 mins more.
  2. Drizzle with the syrup and scatter over the nuts, then return to the oven for a final 10 mins until the carrots are soft and golden and the pecans toasted.

You can chop the pecans up to two days ahead. Keep them in an airtight container.

    Loved this recipe! I've never been a big fan of cooked carrots. I always preferred them raw--this recipe changed my mind. The maple syrup and pecans were the perfect accompaniment.

    Delicious! Made this yesterday for a Christmas in July dinner and they were loved by everyone. One word of advice - double up because my guests were scraping the dish to get the last bits of pecan nuts out!
