Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and peel the carrots, then slice them into uniform pieces. Trim the tips off the green beans and rinse them under cold water.
Sauté the Carrots: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced carrots and a pinch of salt, then sauté for about 5 minutes.
Incorporate the Green Beans: Add the green beans to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 3-4 minutes until tender but crisp.
Add Honey and Seasonings: Reduce heat to low, drizzle honey over the veggies, and sprinkle with thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine.
Finish with Lemon Juice: Remove from heat and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the dish. Toss to brighten the flavors and serve immediately.

For a vegan version, substitute butter with olive oil and honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
