Ingredients
- 2 pounds rainbow carrots, peeled, chopped
- 2 tablespoons (42g) honey
- 1 tablespoon (14g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, minced
Instructions
- Prep the carrots. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Peel the carrots and cut them diagonally into 1–1.5" pieces. Halve any thicker pieces lengthwise so everything cooks evenly.
- Toss the carrots. Add the carrots to a large bowl with the melted butter, honey, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
- Roast: Pour the carrots and glaze onto a large baking sheet, spreading them into a single layer. Roast for 20 minutes, flip, and roast for 10 more minutes (30 minutes total). Finish under the broiler for 2 minutes to crisp the edges, watching closely so the honey doesn't burn.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the carrots from the oven, toss with minced thyme, and transfer to a serving bowl. Top with an extra drizzle of honey if you prefer them sweeter.
