Prep: 10 min · Cook: 25 min · Yield: 4 · Method: Oven

Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds carrots
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
• 0.75 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Cooking instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper if desired. (about 5 min) — 425°F
2. Peel the carrots and trim the ends. Cut larger carrots in half lengthwise so the pieces are similar in size. (about 5 min)
3. Whisk the honey, olive oil, thyme, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Toss the carrots with about two-thirds of the glaze, then spread them in a single layer on the baking sheet. (about 3 min)
4. Roast until the carrots are browned at the edges and easily pierced with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes, turning them halfway through. (about 25 min) — 425°F
5. Transfer the hot carrots to a serving dish and toss with the remaining glaze. Serve warm. (about 2 min)
