Ingredients
- 8 medium Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley
Directions
Step 1
Begin by washing and peeling the carrots. Trim both ends and slice them in half lengthwise to create even pieces for grilling.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss the carrots in the mixture until they are evenly coated.
Step 3
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the prepared carrots directly on the grill grates.
Step 4
Grill the carrots for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until they achieve nice grill marks and become tender yet still slightly firm.
Step 5
While the carrots are grilling, finely chop the fresh thyme and rosemary leaves if they are not already prepared.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and honey until well blended.
Step 7
Once the carrots are cooked to your liking, remove them from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Step 8
Drizzle the honey-lemon mixture evenly over the grilled carrots.
Step 9
Sprinkle the fresh thyme, rosemary, and chopped parsley over the carrots, and serve immediately as a fresh and flavorful side dish.
