Carrots are one of those vegetables that I usually think of to eat raw, with ranch dressing or dip. J and Nat like them cooked and I usually do not, so I don’t make them very often. Truth be told, I usually only make them if it’s with a pot roast or in some kind of soup.

But, I do try to take my family’s food likes into consideration when I am meal planning, and not avoid something altogether just because I am not the biggest fan. Olives are a prime example of that. They love them, I loathe them. But I will still make dishes with olives for them. I just take my portion out before adding the olives.

Now, before you leave the page thinking, why in the world is this chick posting a recipe about a food she doesn’t like – give me just another minute. I said I don’t usually like cooked carrots. These carrots, however, I rather enjoyed. I’m not sure if it was the crinkle cut of the carrots, the honey they were roasted in, or if maybe my tastes are evolving even more as I creep closer to forty.

Whatever the reason, these carrots were delicious and easier than one might think, to make. It’s rare that I buy frozen veggies. I used to, back in the day. Corn, mixed veggies, etc. but I can’t remember the last time I used anything but fresh veggies.

But these carrots – are frozen. And they turned out amazing. Maybe that means I like cooked carrots if they are frozen?? I don’t know. I should stop trying to figure it out and just go with it, eh? Frozen carrots, tossed with a seasoned honey mixture, roasted and topped with fresh thyme. That’s it, friends.

And what you get from that simplicity, are these honey roasted carrots with thyme that everyone is sure to love! Add them to your upcoming holiday menus and you won’t be disappointed.
