Clean Eating: Glazed Carrots on the Grill + 10 Other Carrot Recipes

Who doesn’t LOVE glazed carrots?  A vegetable that tastes like a dessert! Yes please! Here is a clean eating healthy recipe that tastes so good you won’t even miss the extra sugary stuff.  Plus, baby carrots are only around $1 a bag at the grocery store making them one of the least expensive fresh vegetables you can buy.

Glazed Carrots for the Grill (Clean Eating)

• 1 lb bag of baby carrots
• olive oil
• honey
• orange zest
• salt and pepper to taste

1. Pile your carrots into the center of a large piece of foil (so you can wrap it twice).
2. Mix olive oil, honey, and orange zest in a bowl.  The measurements are based on how much “glaze” you want.  I start with about 2 Tablespoons of each olive oil and honey.  Stir it together so it has a drizzle-like consistency.  Then grate in the orange zest.  Getting the right balance is based on taste.  Add a pinch of salt if you would like (it brings out the sweetness).
3. Drizzle the mixture onto the carrots.  Use a couple spoons or your hands to mix the glaze into the carrots.
4. Tightly foil wrap each wedge so that none of the juices can run out during cooking.
5. Preheat your propane grill to the lowest heat possible.
6. Place the foil wrapped packages on the grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes on each side.
7. You will know they are done when you press the back of a pair of tongs onto one of the wrapped packages and there is a little “give.”  Then you know the carrots have softened.

The sweet yet savory flavor is a really compliment to Bbq or Asian chicken recipes.

Tips:

• The carrots can prepared an hour or two before cooking time.
• Grill the carrots before whatever meat or main dish you are grilling because the foil keeps the carrots hot for a long time before serving.
