Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare your baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, maple syrup, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Pour the glaze over the chopped apples and carrots, tossing to coat evenly.
Spread the coated vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
Once golden brown and tender, remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
