Grilled Carrots with Lime and Cilantro

Grilling the carrots brings out a sweet flavor along with the fresh flavors of lime and cilantro.  A perfect summertime side dish!  If you don't have a grill, you can roast the carrots in the oven at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

Prep Time:
5 minutes

Cook Time:
8-20 minutes

Ready In:
25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 lbs small carrots (or large carrots cut in half lengthwise)
  • 1 lime
  • 1 handful of cilantro
  • few pinches of cumin
  • extra-virgin olive oil
  • kosher salt
  • fresh ground pepper

Instructions:

Preheat a grill to medium heat. (If you don’t have a grill, toss the carrots with olive oil and a bit of salt and pepper, and roast at 400°F for 20 minutes.)

Wash the carrots. In a bowl, toss them with a bit of olive oil. Place the carrots on the grill and cook until the carrots turn paler in color and a bit wrinkled; flip over and cook the same amount (around 8 minutes total for small carrots, but the timing will depend on the thickness of the carrots). When fully cooked, the carrots can be easily pierced with a fork.

Wash and coarsely chop the cilantro.

When the carrots are done, place them in a bowl and toss them with juice from the lime, kosher salt, fresh ground pepper, cilantro, and a few pinches of cumin.
