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.
