# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Chop carrots – try not to cry too much! This is where I always end up with carrot juice everywhere. Oops.
02 -
In a large bowl, toss carrots with melted butter, honey, garlic, soy sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Make sure everything is well coated. Get your hands in there! It's more fun that way.
03 -
Spread carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized. Keep an eye on them – ovens vary! I once burnt a whole batch, I tell you.
04 -
For extra caramelization, broil for the last 2-3 minutes. Watch them like a hawk though, broiling is intense!
05 -
Taste the carrots and add more honey, garlic, or soy sauce if needed. This is your chance to make them truly your own.
06 -
Serve immediately and enjoy the deliciousness! Sprinkle with extra thyme or a drizzle of honey if you're feeling fancy.
# Notes:
01 -
Don't overcrowd the baking sheet! This will prevent even roasting.
02 -
Store leftover carrots in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
03 -
Maple syrup can be used instead of honey for a different kind of sweetness.
04 -
These carrots are amazing with roasted chicken, pork, or fish.
