Grilled and Glazed Carrots

 

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 pound carrots (if thick carrots, slice down the middle lengthwise)

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Glaze

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

  • 1/4 cup honey

  • 1/8 teaspoon salt (just a pinch)

  • 1 tablespoon orange juice (optional)

  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

 
 

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat Grill: Prepare grill for direct/indirect cooking, targeting 450 degrees.

  2. Grill Carrots: Toss carrots in olive oil, then place directly on the grill over direct heat. Rotate every few minutes to get a slight char on each side. If they begin to burn move them to indirect heat to finish cooking (about 12-15 minutes total cooking time). You're looking for the carrots to be fork tender.

  3. Glaze Carrots: Just before pulling the carrots off the grill glaze them once. Let them cook one more minute on the grill, then remove from grill and glaze one more time. Serve immediately. 

Honey Glaze

  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat add butter, brown sugar, honey, and salt and mix together. For additional flavor add cinnamon and orange juice. Whisk frequently until the brown sugar dissolves. Glaze the carrots immediately with the hot glaze.
