Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet pan with aluminum foil and set it aside.

Step 2

Peel and diagonally cut the whole carrots into 3-4 pieces, depending on the size and thickness of the carrot. Each piece should be around 1"-1.5" in length. For thicker carrots, cut the pieces in half to promote even cooking. Place the carrots in a large bowl.

Step 3

Add the butter to a small glass bowl. Place the bowl in the microwave for 15-30 seconds, or until fully melted. Pour the butter and remaining ingredients directly over the carrots, and toss until the carrots are fully coated. (If the honey is too thick, melt it in the microwave as well then pour over the carrots.)

Step 4

Spread the carrots out evenly on the baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20 minutes, flip the carrots, then roast another 15 minutes (35 minutes total).

Step 5

Remove the carrots from the oven and garnish them with a little bit more thyme. Serve.

Step 6

Store any leftover in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
