Peel and slice the carrots at an angle, about ½ inch or slightly less. Add to a saucepan.
Add water to cover the carrots and lightly salt the water. Place on heat and bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook 5-6 minutes or until the carrots tender yet crisp. Pour the carrots into a colander to drain, wipe out the saucepan and place back on the stove on an unused burner.
If using fresh thyme, remove the leaves from the sprig and set them aside. Feel free to use ⅛ teaspoon of dried thyme.
To the saucepan, add the butter, honey, and salt. Place on heat and just bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Simmer for 1 minute and remove from heat.
Add the carrots and thyme and stir to coat with the glaze. Taste, and season with salt and black pepper as desired.
Pour into a serving bowl.
Serve with any main dish, enjoy.
