Maple chilli carrots wrapped in bacon

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 200°C. Brush and wash the carrots, cleaning off any muddy ‘knots’ or marks with a knife.
2. Give each bacon slice a tug to stretch it. Wrap each carrot in a strip of bacon and place bacon ends down on the baking tray. Brush all over with the maple syrup and season with black pepper.
3. Bake for 10 min, remove from the oven, and brush with sriracha chilli sauce.
4. Bake for 15 more min, or until the carrots are tender and the bacon is crisp. Keep an eye on the carrots when cooking, as the bacon browns up quickly. Garnish with parsley leaves.
