Ingredients

• 1 pound Carrots
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and peel the carrots. Trim the ends and cut larger carrots into halves or quarters lengthwise to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

Place the carrots on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.

Step 4

Drizzle the olive oil over the carrots and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss until the carrots are evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the carrots out in a single layer on the baking sheet.

Step 6

Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, turning them halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

While the carrots are roasting, melt the butter and honey together in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until combined, then remove from heat.

Step 8

After 20 minutes of roasting, remove the carrots from the oven and drizzle the honey-butter mixture over them. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 9

Return the glazed carrots to the oven and roast for an additional 10 minutes, or until they are tender and caramelized.

Step 10

If desired, sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the carrots before serving for a fragrant and herby finish.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy your Oven Glazed Carrots!
