Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the carrots: If they are large, slice them in half lengthwise for even cooking.
Make the glaze: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, honey, melted butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme.
Coat the carrots: Toss the carrots with the glaze until fully coated.
Roast: Spread them out on the baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and caramelized.
Garnish & serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

For extra crispiness, broil the carrots for the last 2-3 minutes.
Swap honey for maple syrup to make it vegan.
Great with a squeeze of lemon juice before serving for added freshness.
