  1. Wash and peel the carrots. Then chop them into 1-inch pieces.
  2. Put the butter in a large bowl. Microwave it until melted. Then whisk in the honey, half the thyme leaves, salt & pepper. Add prepared carrots, and toss to coat.

  4. Once done, use tongs to remove the carrots to a serving platter. Sprinkle with the remaining thyme leaves. Pour the accumulated juices into a bowl for serving.
