Equipment

  • Baking Sheet

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Carrots
  • 2 tbsps Olive Oil
  • 3 tbsps Brown Sugar
  • 2 tbsps Honey
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Thyme
  • ½ cup Pecans
  • Salt and Pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Skin and slice and place carrots on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Season with kosher salt and black pepper and drizzle a little olive oil on top. Add brown sugar, honey, thyme, and chopped pecans. Toss everything together and ensure that carrots and pecans are coated.
  • Bake in the oven on the top rack for 15-20 minutes, until carrots are caramelized and slightly softened.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd your sheet pan. If needed, use two baking sheets. Overcrowding the pan won't allow the carrots to cook thoroughly.
  • Be mindful of the size of your carrots - larger carrots will take longer to cook than the little tender baby carrots.
  • For more tender carrots, bake for the full 20 minutes. If you prefer carrots that have more of a crunch, bake for 12-15 minutes in the oven. I like to cook until fork tender, about 20 minutes in my oven.
  • Bake the carrots on the top rack. This will allow them to cook quickly and evenly.
