Honey Roasted Carrots
Ingredients
- 2 pounds whole carrots scrubbed, tops trimmed to 1 inch
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Halve any thick carrots lengthwise so the pieces are roughly the same width.
- Whisk together the melted butter, honey, thyme, salt and pepper.
- Arrange the carrots in a single layer and pour the honey butter over them, tossing to coat.
- Roast for 20 minutes, then turn each carrot over with tongs.
- Roast for 10 more minutes, until the edges are deeply caramelized and a fork slides easily into the thickest part.
- Transfer to a platter and spoon any pan glaze back over the top.
Good to Know
Buy carrots with the tops still on if the store has them, the green stems make the platter look fuller for no extra cost.
