Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Peel and slice carrots and apples into similar-sized pieces.
  3. Whisk olive oil, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, vinegar, salt, pepper, and thyme in a bowl.
  4. Toss carrots and apples with glaze until evenly coated.
