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!

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.
