Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Peel and trim the carrots. If they are thick, slice them in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking.
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, thyme leaves, rosemary leaves, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Add the prepared carrots to the bowl and toss well to coat them evenly with the honey and herb mixture.
Place the carrots directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the carrots have nice grill marks and are tender but not overly soft.
Once grilled, remove the carrots from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Drizzle the grilled carrots with fresh lemon juice for an extra zing.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add a bright, fresh flavor and color.
Serve warm as a delightful side dish to complement any meal.
