Honey Thyme Roasted Carrots
- Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C) with a rack in the middle.
- Peel the carrots and trim off both ends.
- Cut the carrots into pieces about 3 inches long, then halve the thick pieces lengthwise so every piece is about the same thickness.
- Pile the carrots on a sheet pan, add the oil, salt and pepper, and toss with your hands until coated. Spread them out in one layer.
- Roast until the undersides are starting to brown.
- While the carrots roast, stir the honey, melted butter and thyme together in a small bowl.
- Drizzle the honey mixture over the hot carrots and toss them with tongs right on the pan.
