Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7.
Peel the carrots and cut into thick pieces.
Place in a small roasting tray and toss with the olive oil, cumin and season with a pinch of salt and twist of pepper. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, turning a couple of times.
Drizzle the honey over the carrots and mix around to coat.
