Ingredients
  

1 pound (450g) baby carrots (or regular carrots cut into sticks)

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons honey

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Carrots: If using regular carrots, peel and cut them into uniform sticks, about 2-3 inches long. If using baby carrots, leave them intact.

      Make the Honey Garlic Butter: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, minced garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.

        Coat the Carrots: Place the carrots in a large mixing bowl or a baking dish. Pour the honey garlic butter mixture over the carrots, tossing well to ensure they are evenly coated.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated carrots out in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet to ensure they roast evenly.

            Roast the Carrots: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through for even cooking.

              Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!
