Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and slice the carrots into 1-inch diagonal coins.
In a mixing bowl, toss the carrots with the maple syrup, 0.25 tablespoons of olive oil, half of the sea salt, half of the black pepper, and the fresh thyme.
Spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and caramelized.
While the carrots roast, season the chicken breast on both sides with the remaining sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the remaining 0.25 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken breast for 6-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior is golden brown.
Let the chicken rest for 3 minutes before slicing and serving alongside the hot glazed carrots.
