Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, minced
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Peel the carrots and slice each carrot in half lengthwise.
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, and half of the fresh thyme and rosemary.
Toss the carrot halves in the olive oil mixture until they are thoroughly coated.
Place the carrots on the preheated grill, cut side down, and close the lid.
Grill the carrots for about 10 minutes until they have nice grill marks. Turn them over and grill for an additional 8-10 minutes until tender.
While the carrots are grilling, prepare the honey herb dressing. In a small bowl, mix the honey, lemon juice, the remaining thyme, rosemary, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Remove the carrots from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Drizzle the honey herb dressing over the grilled carrots, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately.
