Cut the carrots into thirds, crosswise and on a diagonal.
Bring salted water to a boil in a large pot fitted with a steamer basket. Let carrots steam until just tender, 5-8 minutes. Drain and place in a bowl. Toss with the olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper.
Place the carrots on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 25-30 minutes. Taste for seasoning and adjust accordingly. Transfer to a serving bowl.
