Instructions
Preparation
25 Min.Peel carrots and halve lengthwise. Rub with olive oil, sea salt and pepper and let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
Prepare Smoker
15 Min.Heat smoker to 150-165°C and use apple and maple wood chips. The fruity wood aromas perfectly complement the sweetness of the carrots and maple syrup.
Smoking
60-70 Min.Place carrots cut-side up on the rack and distribute fresh thyme sprigs on top. Smoke for about 60-70 minutes until soft but still slightly firm to the bite.
Glazing and Finishing
15 Min.In the last 15 minutes, brush maple syrup evenly onto the carrots and keep the lid closed until the glaze is slightly caramelized. Plate with fresh thyme.
Pro Tip
Choose carrots of similar thickness so they cook evenly. Heat the maple syrup with a little butter before brushing it on so it adheres better.
