- 8 medium carrots peeled (1 bunch)

Preheat oven to 425 F. Cover a cookie sheet in aluminum foil and spray with olive-oil spray.

Wrap each carrot with bacon. It helps to start by wrapping it on one end and going down to the other end. Place the carrot down on the cookie sheet with the bacon ends facing the cookie sheet ( so it stays wrapped). If the ends don’t match up on both ends of the carrot, then use a tooth pick to hold the end of the bacon down.
Sprinkle eat bacon wrapped carrot with 2-3 Tbs maple syrup and then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, then remove from the oven and sprinkle 1 Tbs maple syrup on top.
