Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the baby carrots thoroughly under cold running water. If the carrots are not pre-peeled, gently peel them using a vegetable peeler.
- Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely. You can crush the garlic using the side of your knife before mincing to release more flavor.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, and minced garlic until well combined. This will create a mixture that will coat the carrots evenly.
- Place the washed and drained carrots in a large mixing bowl. Pour the honey-garlic-olive oil mixture over the carrots. Toss the carrots gently with a spoon or your hands until they are evenly coated with the marinade.
- Preheat your barbecue grill to medium-high heat. If using a gas grill, aim for a temperature around 375-400°F (190-200°C). For a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are hot and glowing.
- Place the marinated carrots on the grill. Use a grilling basket or grill mat if preferred to prevent smaller carrots from slipping through the grates. Close the lid and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning them occasionally to ensure even grilling. The carrots should develop a slight char and become tender but not mushy.
- After about 10-15 minutes, check the carrots with a fork to see if they are tender. They should have a slight bite to them but not be too hard. Grill them for a few more minutes if needed.
- Once the carrots are done, remove them from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. You can add a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste, if desired. Serve immediately while warm.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender baby carrots for the best flavor.
- Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat to ensure even cooking.
- Coat the carrots evenly with olive oil, honey, and minced garlic to enhance their natural sweetness and flavor.
- Use a grill basket or aluminum foil to prevent the carrots from falling through the grates.
- Turn the carrots occasionally to ensure they are cooked evenly on all sides and achieve a nice char.
- Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, or sprinkle with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for an extra burst of flavor.
With just a few simple ingredients and some basic steps, barbecued honey baby carrots can add a flavorful and healthy touch to your meal. Whether you're hosting a backyard barbecue or just looking for a tasty veggie side, these carrots are a delicious choice. Enjoy the sweet, savory taste and the satisfying texture that this dish brings to your table.
