Did you know you can grill carrots?
It was news to me my friends, but boy am I glad I tried it!


This new method has been a favourite of mine every since learning from my Future In-laws that that is how they always do it!
It makes perfect sense because Carrots contain both water - which helps create steam, and sugar - which helps create the most amazing caramelization ever! 

But, whether you're using any oven or a grill, these Lemon & Thyme Carrots make a fantastic side dish that's super simple and fairly approachable in price for a weeknight meal or family gathering.

Check out the video I made for ChefTorial which takes you through
a few simple steps on how to perfectly prepare these beauties!
Ingredients: 
  • 2 lbs Carrots (greens slightly removed)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chopped thyme
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest
  • salt & pepper to taste
To make: 
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F or turn on the BBQ to get it nice & warm.
  2. Clean & Peel all the carrots. If the greens are still on, trim them so they're about 1/2" at the top for a little fresh colour.
  3. Toss carrots on baking sheet in oil, fresh thyme and lemon zest. Add freshly cracked salt and pepper and toss until evenly coated.
TO BAKE: spread carrots out in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes, turning every 15-minutes or so to ensure you get even browning & caramelization!
​
​TO GRILL: put carrots on a cross-hatch to the grill turning every 10-minutes or so to achieve a full cook and some beautiful grill marks.
And for one last "DYK" or OBC Tip - roasted carrots also make really, really good "Vegan Hot Dogs" They fit on a bun beautifully and are easy to season up with more of a BBQ or even Cajun feel and then lend themselves very nicely to a few fav condiments!

Enjoy!
