Equipment

1 large sheet pan

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon liquid honey
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
3 cloves garlic pressed or finely minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
50 baby rainbow carrots with tops attached

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Spray a large baking sheet with some baking spray or olive oil spray.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper.
Wash the carrots well, cutting down the tops but leaving on several inches of the green tops.
Add the carrots to the sheet pan and generously brush the carrots on all sides with the glaze.
Roast for about 20 minutes, checking them after about 17-18 minutes to be sure they don't burn. The cooking time might need to be adjusted depending on thickness of the carrots, so feel free to slice the carrots lengthwise and roast like that if your carrots are particularly thick. Test the carrots with a fork to see if they're done - the fork should pierce the carrot with some resistance.
Serve immediately.

Notes

This recipe calls for baby rainbow carrots, however regular-sized carrots can also be used in this recipe. Simply use half the number of carrots (so approximately 25 regular-sized carrots) and cut them into thinner slices to reduce the thickness and roasting time.

If using regular-sized carrots sliced in half lengthwise, and increase the cooking time by 5-7 minutes.
