Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) to prepare for roasting the carrots and crisping the bacon.

Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top for even cooking.

Wrap each peeled carrot with a slice of thin-cut bacon, ensuring slight overlap and arranging them in a single layer on the rack.

Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, monitoring the cooking progress closely.

Combine pure maple syrup and fresh thyme leaves in a bowl and set aside to create a glaze.

Baste the roasted carrots with the maple-thyme glaze using a pastry brush.

Return the glazed carrots to the oven and roast for an additional 15-20 minutes until crispy.

Finish by allowing the carrots to cool slightly and optionally sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving.
