Grilled carrots are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed year-round. This recipe takes traditional grilled carrots to the next level by adding a drizzle of hot honey for a sweet and spicy kick.
To make hot honey grilled carrots, start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. While the grill is heating up, prepare the hot honey by combining equal parts honey and hot sauce in a small bowl. Mix well to combine and set aside.
Next, peel and slice the carrots lengthwise into quarters. This will help them cook more evenly on the grill. Brush the carrot quarters with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Place the carrots on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks. During the last few minutes of cooking, brush the hot honey mixture onto the carrots, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
Once the carrots are cooked through and caramelized, remove them from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining hot honey over the top of the carrots for an extra burst of flavor.
These hot honey grilled carrots are the perfect side dish for any summer barbecue or weeknight dinner. The combination of sweet honey and spicy hot sauce adds a unique twist to a classic vegetable dish. Plus, carrots are packed with vitamins and minerals, making this a nutritious choice for your meal.
