Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh carrots
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

While the grill is heating, peel the carrots and cut them lengthwise into halves or quarters, depending on their thickness, to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Once the grill is hot, place the carrots directly on the grill grates. Grill the carrots for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have nice grill marks.

Step 5

While the carrots are grilling, prepare the glaze by whisking together honey, lime juice, and lime zest in a small bowl.

Step 6

Remove the grilled carrots from the grill and place them on a serving platter.

Step 7

Drizzle the honey-lime glaze over the grilled carrots and gently toss to coat all the carrots with the glaze.

Step 8

Garnish the glazed carrots with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a delightful and healthy side dish.
