Steps:
- Bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil. Set up a bowl of well-salted ice water. Blanch the carrots in the boiling water. When they are cooked but still have some crunch, plunge them immediately into the ice water. When cool, use a clean tea towel to rub the skin off the carrots. Reserve.
- To a large skillet add the butter, sugar, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, cayenne and about 1/2 cup of water. Bring the pan to medium heat swirling occasionally. When most of the water has reduced and the mixture seems homogenous, removed the garlic and add the carrots and stir until they are coated. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes or until the carrots are completely coated and hot.
- So good for my eyes!

GLAZED GRILLED CARROTS
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.

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.

MAPLE-GLAZED GRILLED CARROTS
These grilled carrots have a lovely sweet and smoky caramelized flavor, and are a nice change of pace at a summer cookout or dinner party. Use carrots that are no larger than 3/4-inch thick, or cut larger carrots in half lengthwise for even cooking. One pound should yield 6 to 8 medium carrots.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender baby carrots. Look for carrots that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
- Trim the tops of the carrots, but leave about 1 inch of the green tops attached. This will help to keep the carrots moist during grilling.
- Toss the carrots in olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs.
- Wrap the carrots in foil packets. Fold the foil up tightly around the carrots, leaving a little room for steam to circulate.
- Grill the carrots over medium heat for 15-20 minutes. Turn the packets once or twice during cooking.
- Open the foil packets and let the carrots cool slightly before serving. You can serve the carrots with a dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or tzatziki sauce.
Conclusion:
Grilled baby carrots are a simple and delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be grilled on a gas or charcoal grill. The carrots are tender and flavorful, and they are a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.
