honey thyme roasted carrots

I wrote a poem tonight.  Check it out...

Carrots are orange.
Carrots are yummy.
Don't you think
They should be covered in honey?

I'm notoriously horrible about fixing exciting main dishes with boring side dishes.  Side dishes just take so much effort!  At least that's what it seems like.

But these carrots are incredibly easy - less than 5 minutes prep.  And another thing I love...they are the perfect recipe to involve the kids in!
