Ingredients

• 1 pound carrots
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon chili powder
• 2 tablespoons keto-friendly honey substitute (such as monk fruit sweetened honey)
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Peel and trim the carrots. If the carrots are thick, slice them in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

In a large bowl, toss the carrots with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and chili powder until they are evenly coated.

Step 4

Place the carrots on the preheated grill. Cook for 7-8 minutes per side, or until the carrots are tender and have desirable grill marks, turning occasionally.

Step 5

While the carrots are grilling, prepare the honey-lime glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the keto-friendly honey substitute, lime juice, and lime zest until well combined.

Step 6

Once the carrots are done grilling, transfer them to a serving platter immediately.

Step 7

Drizzle the honey-lime glaze over the hot grilled carrots to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Garnish the glazed carrots with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm as a delicious keto-friendly side dish.
