These grilled carrots have a lovely sweet and smoky caramelized flavor, and are a nice change of pace at a summer cookout or dinner party. Use carrots that are no larger than 3/4-inch thick, or cut larger carrots in half lengthwise for even cooking. One pound should yield 6 to 8 medium carrots.
Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots , peeled and trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
