Sweet Grilled Carrots Recipe- So Easy!

Erika Wassall, the Jersey Farm Scribe here with a recipe for grilled carrots. This side dish recipe is so easy, so quick and can do be done with just carrots, a few things you probably already have in the pantry and foil.

I love grilling. I love cooking in the sun. It feels… right. So anything that allows me to cook more than just meat on the grill, and I’m IN! As an added bonus, these sweet grilled carrots are great reheated. To reheat, just wrap them in foil and toss them in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes. I always grill extra to use an an easy veggie side dish throughout the week.

Simply Heavenly Sweet Grilled Carrots Recipe

Sweet Grilled Carrots Recipe

First, peel your carrots, and put them aside.  I leave the tips on, but it’s up to you.

Then mix up some butter and honey and pop it in the microwave for 10 second intervals until it’s all melted and mixed together.  Toss in any herbs of your choice.  Fresh, dried, whatever you have.

I used parsley, chives, and tarragon.  But anything will work, rosemary and thyme, even just basics like oregano and basil would be great.  Honestly, if you don’t have any herbs, this recipe will still work.

Mix the herbs into the butter/honey mixture.  Then dip/roll your carrots in one at a time, get them coated and then place them in a Ziploc bag.

When they’re all in, pour the rest of the honey/butter marinade on top of them, seal the bag (with as little air in it as possible) and lay them in the fridge.

it even looks delicious now!

TIP:  if the marinade won’t pour because it’s thickened, pop it back in the microwave for ten seconds, and it’ll easily pour into the bag.  If it’s slightly warm when you pour it, that’s fine.

You can let this sit… really as long as you want.  Two hours… two days, it’s all good.  If you think of it, flip it once or twice to get the marinade on both sides.  But honestly, if you forget, or even if you skip this step, you’re still gonna end up with some yummy carrots.

Put the grill on medium heat, and lay the carrots right over the flame, (this will vary slightly depending on your grill).  Brush on some more of the marinade every few minutes, and turn them every ten minutes.  Depending on how big your carrots are, it takes about 25-30 minutes or so to get them soft.  Simply test with a fork.  If the fork goes in, they’re done!
