Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs carrots peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tbsp fresh thyme or parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a large bowl, toss the carrot chunks with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Roast the carrots for 20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
  • While the carrots are roasting, melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in honey and cayenne pepper, cooking for a few minutes.
