Preheat oven to 425°F.
Toss carrots with olive oil, honey, salt, pepper, and thyme until evenly coated.
Spread onto a parchment-lined sheet pan in a single layer.
Roast for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and caramelized.
Tear burrata open onto a serving platter and gently spread the creamy center.
Spoon hot roasted carrots directly over the burrata.
Finish with flaky salt, chopped pistachios, and an extra honey drizzle for shine.
Ensure the carrots are spread in a single layer on the sheet pan for even roasting.
Flip the carrots halfway through roasting to achieve uniform caramelization.
Use high-quality burrata for the best creamy texture and flavor.
Add extra honey drizzle for a touch of sweetness and shine.
Can I use baby carrots instead of regular carrots?
Yes, you can use baby carrots, but adjust the roasting time as they may cook faster.
What can I substitute for burrata?
You can substitute burrata with fresh mozzarella or ricotta for a similar creamy texture.
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
You can roast the carrots ahead of time and reheat them before serving, but assemble the dish just before serving for the best texture.
How do I store leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving.
Can I use dried thyme instead of fresh thyme?
Yes, you can use dried thyme, but reduce the quantity to about 1/2 tsp as dried herbs are more concentrated.
