Best Grilled Carrots With Avocado And Mint Recipes
GRILLED CARROTS WITH AVOCADO AND MINT
When carrots are in season, don't peel them-just give them a quick scrub. The nutrient-rich skins will get deeply charred on the grill.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium heat. Toast cumin seeds in a dry small skillet over medium heat, tossing often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Let cool.
- Coarsely crush cumin seeds with a mortar and pestle (or on a cutting board with the flat side of a chef's knife). Transfer to a large bowl. Add lemon juice and honey. Whisk in ¼ cup oil, then add chile and ginger. Season dressing with salt. Let sit while you grill carrots (this will give the chile and ginger time to infuse into dressing).
- Toss carrots and remaining 2 Tbsp. oil on a rimmed baking sheet to coat; season with salt. Grill carrots, turning occasionally, until lightly charred in spots and tender, 14-18 minutes. Immediately transfer carrots to bowl with dressing and toss to coat. Taste and season with more salt if needed.
- Arrange carrots and avocados on a platter and spoon any dressing left in bowl over. Top with mint.
GLAZED GRILLED CARROTS
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.

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.
