In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup and sriracha sauce. Once the carrots are done roasting, drizzle the spicy maple mixture over the carrots and toss to coat. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize.

Remove the carrots from the oven and sprinkle with sesame seeds for a nutty crunch. Serve hot and enjoy the perfect balance of sweetness and heat in every bite!
