Wash your carrots and trim as desired. Slice if you wish or keep whole.
1 pound carrots
Put the carrots in a large skillet with the stock, 1 Tablespoon of honey and salt. Bring to a boil over medium high heat.
1/2 cup vegetable stock, 3 Tablespoons honey, 1/4 teaspoon salt
Reduce heat to medium low, cover, and simmer until the carrots are just tender, approximately 5 minutes for cut carrots and 8-10 minutes for whole carrots. Turn or stir carrots about halfway through.
Remove the lid. Continue cooking until the liquid reduces to approximately 2 Tablespoons.
Add the rest of the honey, zest of the lemon, butter, and thyme. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens and turns a light brown.
