Glazed Grilled Carrots
These glazed grilled carrots are tender, smoky, and coated in a sweet honey brown sugar glaze. An easy side dish that is perfect for weeknight dinners or Easter lunch.
Equipment
- 1 Long Tongs
- 1 Sauce Pan
- 1 Basting Brush
- 1 Grill
Ingredients
- 1 lb Carrots
- 1 tablespoon Avocado Oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
For the Glaze
- ¼ cup Honey
- ¼ cup Brown Sugar
- 3 tablespoon Butter
- ½ teaspoon Allspice
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to 450°F.
- Prep the carrots by washing them (peel only if desired). Slice thicker or longer carrots in half lengthwise so they cook easily.
- Place the carrots in a bowl, toss with avocado oil, and season with salt.
- Grill for about 12 minutes, turning every few minutes until the carrots are fork-tender and lightly charred.
- While carrots cook, make the glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the butter, brown sugar, honey, and allspice. Stir until the brown sugar dissolves and the glaze becomes smooth.
- Just before pulling the carrots off the grill, glaze them once. Let them cook for an additional minute, then remove the carrots and glaze one more time with a basting brush.

Notes
- Use fresh carrots - fresh, firm carrots will have the best flavor and texture.
- Choose even-sized carrots - Using even-sized carrots ensures they cook more evenly on the grill.
- Cut large carrots in half - Thicker carrots should be sliced lengthwise so they cook through without burning.
- Don't glaze the carrots too early - the sugar can burn if added too soon. Make sure to brush it on in the final few minutes of cooking.
- Watch the heat - If your carrots are cooking too fast, rotate them to indirect heat. Remember, thinner carrots will cook faster.
