These are a nice change from a more traditional roasted carrot. I, personally, didn't care for the roasted taste of the honey. My husband, however, loved them.

I have made these carrots twice now. The first time around, I had to use dried thyme and they were good; however, the second time I used fresh thyme and it was WAY better! This is such an easy side dish to put together, which is important when the main dish takes more prep time or you work full-time, like I do. Wonderful flavor, enhanced by the roasting process. Well-received by spouse and son. A keeper in my TOH Recipe Box!

So simple, and absolutely delicious. I used the dried thyme, but can't wait to make them again with fresh.

This recipe is flavorful and soooo easy. It's a pretty dish you can prep ahead of time then simply toss in the oven when it's time to bake. The fresh thyme makes it special.

This is one of my mother's favorite new recipes. I made it for Easter and then she made it again later on her own, which is a huge deal for her as she doesn't normally do anything new.
