Maple Bacon Wrapped Carrots are an irresistible dish that combines the sweetness of carrots with the crunch of bacon, topped off with a delicious maple syrup glaze. This dish can serve as a perfect side dish for many meals or even as an appetizer at a dinner party. Here’s how to make this delicious recipe step by step.
Ingredients
To make these bacon wrapped carrots, you will need the following ingredients:
2 pounds baby carrots, peeled
1 pound thinly sliced bacon
¼ cup maple syrup
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that the carrots and bacon cook evenly.
Step 2: Wrap the carrots
Take a slice of bacon and carefully wrap it around each carrot, starting with the thick end. Make sure the bacon layers don’t overlap too much to allow for even cooking.
Step 3: Arrange Carrots on a Wire Rack
Place the wrapped carrots on a wire rack that will be set over a baking sheet. This will allow the fat to drain and crisp the carrots.
Step 4: Bake Carrots
Place the carrots in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the carrots are tender.
Step 5: Glaze with Maple Syrup
Remove the carrots from the oven and brush them thoroughly with maple syrup on all sides. This adds a nice sheen and delicious sweetness.

Step 6: Return to Oven
Return the carrots to the oven for an additional 8-10 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize. Watch carefully to prevent the bacon from burning.
Step 7: Serve Hot
Once the carrots are done cooking, remove them from the oven and serve immediately. These maple bacon wrapped carrots are best served warm!
