Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 medium carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Wash and peel the carrots, trimming the tops and ends if needed. Slice the carrots lengthwise in half if they are thick.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, honey, lime juice, lime zest, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the carrots evenly with the mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
Place the carrots on the grill, perpendicular to the grates to prevent them from falling through. Grill for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
Transfer the grilled carrots to a serving platter.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley over the carrots.
Serve warm as a delicious side dish with your favorite grilled protein or enjoy as a healthy snack.
