Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 tablespoons keto-friendly honey substitute (such as monk fruit sweetened honey)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high heat.
Peel and trim the carrots. If the carrots are thick, slice them in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking.
In a large bowl, toss the carrots with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and chili powder until they are evenly coated.
Place the carrots on the preheated grill. Cook for 7-8 minutes per side, or until the carrots are tender and have desirable grill marks, turning occasionally.
While the carrots are grilling, prepare the honey-lime glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the keto-friendly honey substitute, lime juice, and lime zest until well combined.
Once the carrots are done grilling, transfer them to a serving platter immediately.
Drizzle the honey-lime glaze over the hot grilled carrots to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish the glazed carrots with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve warm as a delicious keto-friendly side dish.
