Grilled Glazed Carrots Honey (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 pound carrots (if thick carrots, slice down the middle lengthwise)
02 -
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
→ For the Glaze
03 -
2 tablespoons butter
04 -
1/4 cup brown sugar
05 -
1/4 cup honey
06 -
1/8 teaspoon salt (just a pinch)
07 -
1 tablespoon orange juice (optional)
08 -
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Prepare grill for direct/indirect cooking, targeting 450 degrees.
02 -
Toss carrots in olive oil, then place directly on the grill over direct heat. Rotate every few minutes to get a slight char on each side. If they begin to burn move them to indirect heat to finish cooking (about 12-15 minutes total cooking time). You're looking for the carrots to be fork tender.
03 -
Just before pulling the carrots off the grill glaze them once. Let them cook one more minute on the grill, then remove from grill and glaze one more time. Serve immediately.
04 -
In a small saucepan over medium heat add butter, brown sugar, honey, and salt and mix together. For additional flavor add cinnamon and orange juice. Whisk frequently until the brown sugar dissolves. Glaze the carrots immediately with the hot glaze.
# Notes:
01 -
When grilling the carrots, it's likely some spots on your grill are hotter. Rotate them around to get even grill marks. If some carrots are done early, move them to indirect heat before glazing until they are all done.
