Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Peel the carrots and cut them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices. If the carrots are very thick, cut them in half lengthwise first.

Step 5
Place the carrots on the grill in a single layer. Close the lid and grill for about 10 minutes.

Open the lid and turn the carrots over, brushing any remaining marinade over them. Grill for another 10 minutes or until tender and slightly charred.
Step 7
Remove the carrots from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.

Sprinkle the grilled carrots with fresh parsley before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm as a delicious side dish to any Mediterranean-inspired meal.
