Best 6 Grilled Honey Tarragon Carrots Recipes

GRILLED CARROTS WITH YOGURT, CARROT-TOP OIL AND DUKKAH

Steps:

• Wash and peel the carrots and trim the tops, leaving about 1 inch/3 centimeters of the greens attached. Measure out 1 packed cup/40 grams leafy carrot tops and wash well to get rid of any grit. Squeeze out as much water as possible, and pat dry. Roughly chop the carrot tops then transfer them to a blender.
• Add the tarragon, 6 1/2 tablespoons/100 milliliters oil and a small pinch of salt. Blitz until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed, then transfer the mixture to a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl. Strain the mixture, extracting as much oil as possible. (You should have about 3 tablespoons/45 milliliters.) Discard the solids.
• Meanwhile, prepare a steamer for your carrots by heating water in your steamer or setting a colander over a large pot with a few inches of simmering water. Once ready, add the carrots and steam for 10 minutes, or until you can easily pierce the thick parts with a knife but the carrots are not overly soft. Transfer the carrots to a large, shallow dish along with the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons/20 milliliters oil, plus 1/2 teaspoon salt and a good grind of pepper. Toss to combine.
• In a large bowl, whisk the honey, vinegar and a tiny pinch of salt. Set aside.
• Make the dukkah: Add all the dukkah ingredients to a food processor and pulse a few times until the nuts are roughly chopped. (You should have 1 scant cup.)
• Heat a well-oiled grill pan over high. Working in a few batches to avoid overcrowding, grill the carrots on all sides, about 6 minutes per batch. Transfer the grilled carrots to the bowl with the honey dressing, and toss gently to combine.
• Season the yogurt with 1/4 teaspoon salt, then spread it out on a large platter. Drizzle all over with the carrot-top oil then add the carrots, arranging them artfully so they're all facing the same direction. Spoon a generous amount of dukkah on top and pass the rest.

GRILLED CARROTS WITH HONEY GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium (surface temp of about 350°-450°.)
• Prep the carrots. Scrub well or peel. Cut off the root and skinny tip. If thicker than 3/4 inch, cut in half lengthwise. Mix 1 tablespoon honey, two teaspoons brown sugar and 1 teaspoon olive oil. Heat in microwave for 15 seconds to get hot and stir to combine the sugar.
• Give the carrots a good brush of olive oil and don't forget the cut ends. Don't brush with glaze yet.
• You can use a grill pan or grill directly on the grates but be sure either is well oiled. Flip the carrots every 5 minutes or so. About 10 minutes into grilling, brush with the honey solution, flip and brush again.
• Grill until internal temp over 190° in the thickest part and tender, about 5-10 minutes more.
