Sweet Honey Butter Thyme Glazed Carrots

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I didn’t even like carrots until I made them this way, I’m telling you these are worth the hype! This recipe is quick and easy, and comes together with only 4 ingredients. The honey and thyme come together to make the best sweet and savory side dish to pair along with dinner- sure to be a crowd pleaser.

Certainly not necessary to leave the green tops on, but I think it looks cute so I keep them on purely for aesthetic purposes. You can peel the carrots if you wish or keep the skin on for added fiber, but make sure you wash the carrots well. Here’s a link to the peeler I use when I opt for that route!

To make sure you get a good roast on your carrot you want your oven temperature up high – 425 degrees F is best. You want them to be the perfect level of soft and tender with some golden crisp.

You’ll want to lay the carrots flat on a baking sheet covered in parchment with some breathing room for each prior to baking. This will help them roast evenly. Generously coat them in the decadent honey thyme butter and let your oven get to roasting!

Okay, lets get to cooking!
