I'm normally not a huge fan of carrots. Memories of carrot sticks, huge chunks of  bland sauteed carrots and too sweet flavors have clouded my carrot opinion. But I was inspired by Yotam Ottolenghi's Honey Roasted Carrots which seemed like a happy combination of savory spices along with sweet honey.

Peel carrots and then slice in half. Slice again lengthwise so you have small carrot sticks.

Combine carrots with honey, olive oil, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper. Add sprigs of fresh thyme before roasting.

Roast at 400 degrees for 25 minutes or until carrots have begun to brown. I like my carrots crispy, so I baked for a bit longer. Serve with other roasted vegetables or a grain salad.
