Grilled or Roasted Carrots

The longer carrots cook for, the sweeter and more caramelized they become.
Grilled or Roasted Carrots
Our favorite fresh herb with young carrots is thyme. Sometimes we roast them in the oven and other times put them on the grill. We prefer our vegetables El dente, if you prefer yours softer, cook for a little longer.
Course: Side Dish
Cuisine: North America
Method
- Cut carrots in half lengthwise and place on roasting sheet or in a large flat dish.
- Drizzle oil and toss so carrots are covered with olive oil. Add salt, pepper and fresh chopped thyme. Friend Linda adds minced garlic as well.
- Carrots can be grilled directly on the barbeque or on a grill grate. They can also be roasted on a cooking sheet for 15 minutes at 400, depending on how you like your carrots cooked.
Notes
As per the usual – pair the wine with the main and not a side of vegetables! but…consider the vegetable you serve to compliment the main.
