Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 medium Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley
Instructions
Begin by washing and peeling the carrots. Trim both ends and slice them in half lengthwise to create even pieces for grilling.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss the carrots in the mixture until they are evenly coated.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the prepared carrots directly on the grill grates.
Grill the carrots for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until they achieve nice grill marks and become tender yet still slightly firm.
While the carrots are grilling, finely chop the fresh thyme and rosemary leaves if they are not already prepared.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and honey until well blended.
Once the carrots are cooked to your liking, remove them from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Drizzle the honey-lemon mixture evenly over the grilled carrots.
Sprinkle the fresh thyme, rosemary, and chopped parsley over the carrots, and serve immediately as a fresh and flavorful side dish.
