prosciutto-wrapped baby carrots

- 8 slices prosciutto, cut into 8cm-long strips
- 4 bay leaves
- 8 strips orange rind
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- sea salt and cracked black pepper
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease 2 large baking dishes. Wrap each carrot in a strip of prosciutto. Divide the wrapped carrots, the bay leaves and orange rind between the dishes.

Hi Rob, liquid does come out of the prosciutto and carrots as they bake - making the glaze you see at the bottom of the tray. The DH team

hi, just wondering about the picture. the bottom of the tray is completely covered with a brown substance. from the list of ingredients the only one that comes close is maple syrup. being that only 2 tablespoons are used i would imagine most of it would have evaporated in the oven leaving the carrots my drier than pictured. so where exactly does this visual bounty of sauce come from?
