Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C).
Peel the carrots and trim the tops. Cut them in half lengthwise if they are thick, so that all pieces are roughly the same thickness for even grilling.
In a large bowl, toss the carrots with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper until well coated.
Place the carrots on the preheated grill. Grill for 8-10 minutes per side, or until they are tender and have grill marks. Use tongs to turn them occasionally.
While the carrots are grilling, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, and lime zest until well combined.
Once the carrots are grilled to your liking, remove them from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
Drizzle the honey-lime glaze evenly over the grilled carrots.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve your Paleo Grilled Carrots with Honey-Lime Glaze immediately for the best flavor.
