Grilled Carrots Recipes

EASY GRILLED CARROTS

Steps:

• Wash and peel the carrots. Cut carrots in half using a sharp knife. For very large carrots, cut into quarters. Small, thin carrots can be left whole.
• Toss the carrots with the olive oil, a touch of salt (if you plan on using the soy sauce), and pepper.
• Preheat the grill to medium high heat. When ready to cook, place the carrots directly on the grill grates. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side. Note: If you are grilling thicker carrots, you will need to use a combination of direct and indirect heat. For thicker carrots, start by cooking the carrots on the hot side of the grill, rotating them every 2-3 minutes until they are lightly charred on the outside. Then move them to the indirect heat and cook for 14-18 minutes until they are fork tender.
• Mix together any remaining olive oil from the carrots with the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, honey (if using), and thyme.
• Drizzle the grilled carrots with the balsamic vinegar mixture.

MAPLE-GLAZED GRILLED CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Brush carrots with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Place carrots on the grill, perpendicular to the grates. Reduce heat to medium and cook, turning them regularly, until carrots have started to caramelize and are cooked throughout, 14 to 18 minutes. Move them to indirect heat and continue cooking if they start burning.
• Brush carrots with maple syrup and grill 1 minute more before transferring to a plate. Serve immediately.

GLAZED GRILLED CARROTS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, rosemary, garlic and ginger until combined. Whisk in 2 tablespoons oil so dressing emulsifies; set aside.
• Heat grill to low. Coat carrots with oil and season with salt. Grill carrots, covered, turning as needed to prevent burning, until nicely charred and fork tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• When carrots come off the grill, toss them immediately in the prepared dressing. Once they're coated, use tongs to transfer the carrots to a serving platter and garnish with green onion. Drizzle a few spoonfuls of the remaining dressing over the top.

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat the grill to medium-high heat, 400 F to 425 F.
• While the grill is heating up, trim the leafy tops and any fibrous ends of the carrots. Wash and peel the carrots, patting them with a paper towel to dry. You can cut big carrots in half lengthwise if thick enough to still be at least 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick.
• Place a single layer of carrots in a baking dish and coat lightly with olive oil.
• Sprinkle the oiled carrots with the desired amount of salt and pepper, then season with rosemary and thyme.
• Once the grill is heated, place the carrots on the grill (cut-side down if cut in half lengthwise) and cook covered until the carrots develop grill marks, about 7 to 8 minutes per side.
• Once flipped, you will know when the carrots are done when both sides are seared (or they begin to brown) and can be pierced with a fork with a soft crunch in the middle.
