Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and peel the carrots, then cut them into uniform sizes for even roasting. In a bowl, combine the carrots with olive oil, honey, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  3. Toss the carrots thoroughly until each piece is coated in the mixture.
  4. Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring space between each piece.
  5. Roast the carrots for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through for even browning.
  6. If using butter, dot your hot carrots with small pieces of butter five minutes before they finish roasting.
  7. Once roasted, check seasoning and garnish with fresh thyme if desired. Serve warm.
