A tasty grilled honey glazed carrot to complement almost any grilled meal. A little char with honey sweetness.
Start with larger whole carrots. Scrub well, peel if you want, brush with oil then grill over medium heat and finally brush with a honey coating and finish grilling. Very yummy.
Rating
A medium 4 for me and a little higher for wifo.
Notes: A carrot, like a potato, is done at 210 degrees. Cooking too fast will get you a burnt not done carrot. The carrot needs to be split to cook completely. I use medium heat (about 400 degrees surface temp) here. If you are cooking something else at a higher temperature, lower the heat under the carrots and turn the thicker part towards the higher heat. I did try just honey, and it had very little sweet taste, the brown sugar helped.

We also tripled the recipe and used rainbow carrots. We did add a pinch of salt to the glaze mixture. Love the flavor and will absolutely make again❣️

I bought a bag of organic rainbow carrots (purple, yellow and orange). I tripled the recipe as I was cooking for more than two and wanted leftovers. Delicious! Everyone loved them, and they look beautiful on the dinner plate. Will absolutely make again. Thank you!
