Best 7 Easy Marinated Carrots Recipes

EASY GRILLED CARROTS

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.
