3tbspsBrown Sugar
2tbspsHoney
2tbspFresh Thyme
1/2cupPecans
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.
