Tip the carrots into a deep frying pan with the butter, thyme and honey. Cook for 5 mins until starting to brown. Pour in 250ml water, bring to the boil and cook until the water has evaporated and the carrots are tender. Turn down the heat and cook the carrots slowly, stirring, until glazed.

Can I freeze ahead

I made this recipe with ordinary carrots cut into sticks. I cooked it in a wide saucepan and ended up not adding any water at all as there seemed to be plenty coming out of the carrots. It took about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, and they were delicious. I’ll definitely be making this recipe…

Really easy and tasty. I used dried thyme as I used all my fresh thyme up in the roast chicken, would recommend.

Initially made this for Christmas dinner but they went down so well I make them regularly. The carrots are juicy and full of flavor with the herbs and honey - the whole family love them. Really easy dish as you can leave them to simmer while doing other things.
