Ensure carrot pieces are of even thickness for even cooking.
Melt butter in a large deep skillet or medium pot over medium heat. Add carrots, olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme, tossing to coat.
Cover and cook over medium to medium-low heat for 18 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until carrots are tender.
Stir in honey and cook uncovered for 2 to 3 minutes, tossing until lightly glazed.
Remove from heat and mix in parsley and lemon zest. Serve warm.

Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey as desired.
For additional flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon.
Fresh herbs can be substituted with dried for convenience.
