Hazelnut Free Glazed Greek Oregano Roasted Carrots
Roasted carrots get a serious glow-up here, with garlic-infused olive oil, a maple-lemon glaze, and the herby warmth of dried Greek oregano all working together to create something that feels far more special than a simple vegetable side. The high heat of a 425°F oven does the heavy lifting, caramelizing the cut sides of the carrots until the edges go deeply golden before the sticky glaze goes on for that final glossy finish. A squeeze of fresh lemon and a scatter of flat-leaf parsley at the end keep everything bright and balanced. Tree nut allergies can make navigating glazes and marinades tricky, since many store-bought options sneak in nut-based oils or are processed on shared lines — but every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify. The optional red pepper flakes add just enough heat to make the sweetness of the maple syrup pop without overwhelming the dish. This is the kind of side that disappears fast at the dinner table, whether you're serving it alongside roasted chicken, grilled fish, or a spread of mezze-style dishes.
