Ingredients

Scale

1 lb fresh carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
4 tbsp unsalted butter
3 tbsp honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tsp fresh thyme (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about one minute until fragrant.
Stir in honey, salt, pepper, and thyme (if using), then let the mixture bubble gently for about one minute.
Place carrot pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle half of the honey garlic sauce over them and toss well to coat.
Spread carrots in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and caramelized.
Serve hot as a flavorful side dish or enjoy straight from the pan.
