Why this spice: Collected Foods Pumpkin Pie Spice turns simple roasted carrots into a sweet-savory side that tastes like fall on a sheet pan.

Ingredients

• 2 lb carrots, peeled and halved lengthwise
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 1/2 tsp Collected Foods Pumpkin Pie Spice
• 1 Tbsp maple syrup
• 3/4 tsp kosher salt
• Black pepper
• 2 Tbsp toasted pumpkin seeds
• Fresh thyme or parsley, optional

Directions

1. Heat oven to 425°F. Toss carrots with oil, Pumpkin Pie Spice, maple, salt, and pepper on a sheet pan.
2. Spread in a single layer. Roast 25–30 minutes, flipping once, until caramelized at the edges.
3. Transfer to a platter. Scatter pumpkin seeds and herbs.
4. Taste and add a pinch more salt or maple if needed. Serve warm.

Crowding steams the carrots — use two pans if your sheet is packed.
