Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 1/2 pounds carrots, cut on the bias into 1 1/2-inch-long pieces

1 teaspoon coarse salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

4 sprigs fresh thyme

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 tablespoon honey

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Heat olive oil in a medium ovenproof skillet over high heat. Add carrots, salt, and pepper; cook, turning, 2 minutes per side. Add thyme sprigs and butter; drizzle with honey.

Transfer skillet to oven and roast until carrots are golden and crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Serve immediately.
