Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces medium carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Peel the carrots and cut them lengthwise into halves or quarters, depending on their thickness, to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the carrot pieces with olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper until they are well coated.
Arrange the carrots on the grill grates in a single layer. Grill for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the carrots are tender and have nice grill marks.
While the carrots are grilling, prepare the honey-lime glaze by combining the honey, lime juice, and lime zest in a small bowl. Whisk together until well mixed.
Remove the carrots from the grill and place them on a serving platter. Drizzle the honey-lime glaze evenly over the warm carrots.
Chop the fresh cilantro and sprinkle it over the glazed carrots for an added burst of freshness and flavor.
Serve immediately while warm, enjoying as a delightful side dish to accompany your main meal.
