Ingredients

Scale

For the Carrots:

  • 1 pound baby carrots, peeled and trimmed

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, brown sugar, cinnamon (if using), salt, and pepper to create the glaze.

  • Add the baby carrots to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly in the glaze.

Notes

You may substitute cinnamon with a pinch of ground cumin or paprika for a more savory flavor. To make this dish vegan, ensure the honey is swapped with maple syrup or agave nectar.
