Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrots
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Peel the carrots and cut them into evenly sized pieces, about 3 to 4 inches in length. If the carrots are particularly thick, slice them in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the extra-virgin olive oil, honey, fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped rosemary leaves, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Step 4
Add the prepared carrots to the bowl and toss them in the mixture, ensuring that they are well coated with the oil, honey, and herbs.
Step 5
Place the carrots on the preheated grill. Cook for 10 minutes, occasionally turning them with tongs to ensure they get evenly grilled and have nice grill marks on all sides.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to medium and continue grilling for another 5-10 minutes, or until the carrots are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 7
Once cooked, transfer the grilled carrots to a serving platter. Drizzle with lemon juice and garnish with the chopped fresh parsley.
Step 8
Serve warm as a flavorful side dish, perfectly complementing any Paleo main course.
