1 Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2 In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, minced garlic,olive oil, thyme ,salt, and pepper.
3 Place the chopped carrots in a bowl or baking sheet. Drizzle the maple Dijon mixture over them. Toss the carrots to ensure they are evenly coated.
4 Spread the carrots on the prepared baking sheet then roast them in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and caramelized. Toss them once or twice during the cooking time.
5 While the carrots are roasting, prepare the spiced yogurt sauce. In a separate bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, cinnamon, salt, pepper and lemon juice. For a thinner sauce, add water (1 tsp at a time). For a sweeter sauce, add more maple syrup.
6 Once the carrots are roasted to your desired level of tenderness and have a nice caramelized color, remove them from the oven.
7 To serve, arrange the roasted carrots on a platter or bowl, drizzle the spiced yogurt sauce over them, and garnish with shaved almonds or candied pecans and fresh fresh parsley.
