Ingredients

• 500 grams Carrots
• 50 grams Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Peel the carrots and trim the tops if necessary. Cut larger carrots in half lengthwise for even cooking.

Step 3

Place the carrots on a large baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the honey and thyme leaves, then remove from the heat.

Step 5

Pour the butter mixture over the carrots and toss again to coat them evenly.

Step 6

Arrange the carrots in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for even roasting.

Step 7

Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking, until the carrots are tender and lightly caramelized.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Drizzle any leftover glaze from the baking sheet over the carrots before serving.
