Love carrots? A quick and easy way to cook them with great flavor: Perfect Sauteed Carrots. As expected, grilling brought out a lovely sweet flavor in the carrots. (There doesn’t seem to be much the grill can’t improve!). Tossed with the lime juice, cilantro, and cumin, this healthy veggie was an excellent treat! We ate them as an appetizer since they were perfect finger food, but they’d also be great as a side dish. Here’s how to make them!
Carrots (either large carrots, which you can cut into quarters, or thin carrots) Lime Fresh cilantro Cumin Olive oil, salt, and pepper
Another popular option is to boil or steam the carrots before grilling, like we do with this grilled cauliflower. But Alex and I wanted to keep this recipe quick and easy: so cutting them into thin pieces works! Another alternative: check your farmer’s markets or the grocery’s organic section for carrots that are small and thin, and sold in a bunch. Often you’ll see rainbow carrots sold this way! If they’re long and thin, they work perfectly for the grill.
Preheat a grill to medium high heat (about 425 degrees). Toss the sliced carrots with olive oil and salt. Place the carrots directly on the grill and cook 6 to 10 minutes until tender. Flip the carrots over just once to ensure they cook evenly; they’re ready to flip once they’ve gone slightly pale and wrinkly. Once they’re cooked through, toss the carrots with the lime juice and cumin, and enjoy right away!
