In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it's foamy.
Add the sliced carrots to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Stir well to coat the carrots evenly with the butter.
Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots begin to soften and develop a slight golden-brown color on the edges.
Carefully pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the liquid to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
Cover the skillet and let the carrots steam for 6-8 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Avoid overcooking; they should still have a slight bite.
Uncover the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high. Drizzle the honey over the carrots and add the chopped fresh thyme.
Cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes until the liquid has reduced to a thick, glossy glaze that coats each carrot slice.
Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the fresh parsley, taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately.
