Provided by Kristen McCaffrey

Categories     Side Dish

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1.5 lbs carrots (ideally small to medium size)
1 tbsp olive oil, divided
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp honey (optional)
1/2 tsp dried thyme

Steps:

  • Wash and peel the carrots. Cut carrots in half using a sharp knife. For very large carrots, cut into quarters. Small, thin carrots can be left whole.
  • Toss the carrots with the olive oil, a touch of salt (if you plan on using the soy sauce), and pepper.
  • Preheat the grill to medium high heat. When ready to cook, place the carrots directly on the grill grates. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side. Note: If you are grilling thicker carrots, you will need to use a combination of direct and indirect heat. For thicker carrots, start by cooking the carrots on the hot side of the grill, rotating them every 2-3 minutes until they are lightly charred on the outside. Then move them to the indirect heat and cook for 14-18 minutes until they are fork tender.
  • Mix together any remaining olive oil from the carrots with the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, honey (if using), and thyme.
  • Drizzle the grilled carrots with the balsamic vinegar mixture.

GRILLED CARROTS



Grilled Carrots image

Often overlooked as a grilling veggie despite their deliciously sweet and smoky flavor on the grill, these simple grilled carrots are a favorite.

Provided by Saad Fayed

Categories     Side Dish     Lunch     Dinner

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 carrots (whole; peeled and washed)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 dash kosher salt (or to taste)
1 dash freshly ground black pepper (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon rosemary
1/2 teaspoon thyme

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Heat the grill to medium-high heat, 400 F to 425 F.
  • While the grill is heating up, trim the leafy tops and any fibrous ends of the carrots. Wash and peel the carrots, patting them with a paper towel to dry. You can cut big carrots in half lengthwise if thick enough to still be at least 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick.
  • Place a single layer of carrots in a baking dish and coat lightly with olive oil.
  • Sprinkle the oiled carrots with the desired amount of salt and pepper, then season with rosemary and thyme.
  • Once the grill is heated, place the carrots on the grill (cut-side down if cut in half lengthwise) and cook covered until the carrots develop grill marks, about 7 to 8 minutes per side.
  • Once flipped, you will know when the carrots are done when both sides are seared (or they begin to brown) and can be pierced with a fork with a soft crunch in the middle.

GLAZED GRILLED CARROTS



Glazed Grilled Carrots image

These glazed carrots, from Karen and Quinn Hatfield of the Los Angeles restaurant Odys and Penelope, are caramelized and sweetened from a quick hot turn on the grill, then tossed in a salty dressing of soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, garlic and ginger. Turning the carrots often and moving them around on the grill keeps them from burning. And if your carrots are burning but aren't yet cooked through, transfer them to a baking sheet and finish cooking in a 400-degree oven.

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 clove garlic, cut into paper-thin slices
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for the carrots
10 medium carrots, peeled, trimmed and cut in half lengthwise
Salt
1 green onion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, rosemary, garlic and ginger until combined. Whisk in 2 tablespoons oil so dressing emulsifies; set aside.
  • Heat grill to low. Coat carrots with oil and season with salt. Grill carrots, covered, turning as needed to prevent burning, until nicely charred and fork tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • When carrots come off the grill, toss them immediately in the prepared dressing. Once they're coated, use tongs to transfer the carrots to a serving platter and garnish with green onion. Drizzle a few spoonfuls of the remaining dressing over the top.
