Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil, parchment paper or a silpat mat and set aside.
In a medium-large bowl, combine the melted butter/ghee, maple syrup, chili powder, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper and whisk well. Add the carrots to the bowl and toss to evenly coat.
Pour the carrots onto the prepared baking pan and drizzle any remaining maple mixture on top. Arrange carrots into a single layer using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until fork-tender, stirring halfway through.
Sprinkle with additional rosemary and thyme before serving.
Notes
Room temperature carrots: the butter or ghee in the maple mixture will solidify when mixed with the carrots if the carrots are too cold.
