Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 medium carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Wash and peel the carrots, then slice them in half lengthwise to ensure that they cook evenly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, maple syrup, fresh thyme leaves, fresh rosemary leaves, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Brush the carrots generously with the olive oil mixture, ensuring they are well-coated on all sides.
Place the carrots onto the preheated grill. Cook them for about 12 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have beautiful grill marks.
Once cooked, remove the carrots from the grill and drizzle with lemon juice before serving.
Serve the carrots warm as a flavorful vegan side dish, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
