Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Combine the grapes, honey and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a bowl and mix to coat the grapes. Place the coated grapes on a rimmed baking sheet and add the thyme sprigs, salt and pepper. Roast until the grapes turn a brighter purple, 7 to 15 minutes (depending on the size of the grapes).
