Ingredients
Scale
1 pound carrots
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons olive oil
1–2 sprigs fresh thyme
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Squeeze of lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and peel the carrots. Cut them into roughly equal sizes (about 2-3 inches long and ½ inch thick) to ensure even cooking. If using baby carrots, simply wash them.
In a bowl, whisk together the honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Place the carrots in a large bowl and pour the honey glaze over them. Toss well to ensure the carrots are evenly coated.
Spread the carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Sprinkle the fresh thyme sprigs over the carrots.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized. Flip the carrots halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Garnish with extra fresh thyme, if desired.
