GLAZED GRILLED CARROTS



Glazed Grilled Carrots image

These glazed carrots, from Karen and Quinn Hatfield of the Los Angeles restaurant Odys and Penelope, are caramelized and sweetened from a quick hot turn on the grill, then tossed in a salty dressing of soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, garlic and ginger. Turning the carrots often and moving them around on the grill keeps them from burning. And if your carrots are burning but aren't yet cooked through, transfer them to a baking sheet and finish cooking in a 400-degree oven.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 clove garlic, cut into paper-thin slices
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for the carrots
10 medium carrots, peeled, trimmed and cut in half lengthwise
Salt
1 green onion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, rosemary, garlic and ginger until combined. Whisk in 2 tablespoons oil so dressing emulsifies; set aside.
  • Heat grill to low. Coat carrots with oil and season with salt. Grill carrots, covered, turning as needed to prevent burning, until nicely charred and fork tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • When carrots come off the grill, toss them immediately in the prepared dressing. Once they're coated, use tongs to transfer the carrots to a serving platter and garnish with green onion. Drizzle a few spoonfuls of the remaining dressing over the top.

MAPLE-GLAZED GRILLED CARROTS



Maple-Glazed Grilled Carrots image

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.

GINGER-GLAZED GRILLED THUMBELINA CARROTS



Ginger-Glazed Grilled Thumbelina Carrots image

Sounds like a great way to cook carrots. Posted for safe keeping. I included the minimum time for marination in the prep time. Even with the Thumbelinas you might lose some in the grill!

Categories     Vegetable

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb carrot, preferably Thumbelina carrots, peeled
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 lime, juice of
2 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark, your preference)
1 dash salt and pepper
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Cut the carrots into even chunks that will not fall through your grill grate, such as just halved lenthwise if Thumbelinas, and also chopped to 1 /12" - 2" pieces if not Thumbelinas.
  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl and toss well (or combine in a plastic bag and shake). Let marinade for 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Heat a grill to a high flame. Place carrots on the rack split-side down. Cover grill and let cook for 3-5 minutes.
  • Remove cover. Flip carefully once. Cook another 2-4 minutes or until the largest chunks have charred on both sides (removing smaller pieces that have charred first, especially if not using Thumbelina carrots).
  • Let cool a few minutes & then serve while still warm. Great on it's own or in salads.
