Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Peel the carrots and trim the tops if necessary. Cut larger carrots in half lengthwise for even cooking.
Place the carrots on a large baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the honey and thyme leaves, then remove from the heat.
Pour the butter mixture over the carrots and toss again to coat them evenly.
Arrange the carrots in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking, until the carrots are tender and lightly caramelized.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Drizzle any leftover glaze from the baking sheet over the carrots before serving.
