Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C).
While the grill is heating, peel the carrots and cut them lengthwise into halves or quarters, depending on their thickness, to ensure even cooking.
In a large bowl, toss the carrots with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until they are well-coated.
Once the grill is hot, place the carrots directly on the grill grates. Grill the carrots for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
While the carrots are grilling, prepare the glaze by whisking together honey, lime juice, and lime zest in a small bowl.
Remove the grilled carrots from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
Drizzle the honey-lime glaze over the grilled carrots and gently toss to coat all the carrots with the glaze.
Garnish the glazed carrots with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Serve immediately as a delightful and healthy side dish.
