Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375-400°F (190-200°C).
Wash and peel the carrots. Trim the ends and slice them in half lengthwise if they are thick.
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Add the carrots to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the oil and herb mixture.
Place the carrots directly on the grill grates, ensuring they are in a single layer without overlapping.
Close the grill lid and cook the carrots for about 10 minutes. Flip them halfway through cooking to ensure even grilling.
Check for doneness with a fork; they should be tender but still have a bit of crunch.
Once done, remove the carrots from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Garnish the grilled carrots with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a delightful side dish to complement your meal.
