Carrots en Croûte

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Whisk together oil, honey, curry powder, and thyme in a small bowl. Toss with carrots on a rimmed baking sheet; season generously with salt and pepper. Roast in preheated oven until just tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely, about 15 minutes.

2. Roll out puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured work surface into a 12- x 9-inch rectangle. Cut into 12 small rectangles. If pastry feels sticky, place on a baking sheet, and refrigerate 10 minutes.

3. Arrange pastry rectangles on a clean work surface. Whisk together egg and 1 teaspoon water in a bowl. Brush one short edge of each rectangle with egg mixture. Brush remaining surface of rectangles evenly with sour cream (about 3/4 teaspoon per rectangle). Place 1 carrot lengthwise on each rectangle on opposite side of egg mixture. Roll to enclose carrot in pastry; press edges to seal. Arrange wrapped carrots, seam sides down, on a baking sheet. Freeze until firm, about 10 minutes.

4. Transfer wrapped carrots to a parchment paper–lined baking sheet. Cut a few shallow vents in top of each pastry. Brush with remaining egg mixture; sprinkle with additional curry powder, salt, and pepper to taste.

5. Bake at 375°F until pastry is golden and puffed, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Serve with additional sour cream.
