Ingredients
- 8 medium carrots
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat.
Wash and peel the carrots. Cut them in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, honey, fresh thyme leaves, fresh rosemary leaves, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a marinade.
Add the carrots to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the marinade.
Place the carrots directly on the grill grates. Close the grill lid and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the carrots are tender and have beautiful grill marks.
Remove the carrots from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Drizzle any remaining marinade over the grilled carrots for added flavor.
