Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb baby carrots (or regular carrots, peeled and cut into sticks)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, toss the baby carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
