Here is a wonderful recipe for Grilled & Glazed Carrots that is easy and quick. You pre-cook them in the microwave for a couple of minutes and then cook them on the grill for another six or seven minutes, and then take them off and glaze them with a balsamic and honey glaze. See what I am talking about --easy and quick!
Grilled & Glazed Carrots
Recipe Source: Patio Daddio BBQ
6 carrots (as equal in size as possible)
1/8 cup Balsamic vinegar
1/8 cup Honey
Combine the balsamic and honey in a small bowl, whisk to combine and set aside. Peel, trim, and slice the carrots in half horizontally. Put them in a zip-top bag and seal, leaving about an inch unsealed. Cook the carrots on high in the microwave for two minutes, or until they are slightly flexible. This shortens the grilling time significantly. (Do not skip this step...I did the first time, and it took three times as long to cook them)
Note: You may need to adjust the cooking time depending on the size of your carrots and the power of your microwave. Grill the carrots on a medium-high grill (about 400 degrees) for three minutes. (I used a grilling pan.) Flip them over, brush them with the glaze, and continue grilling another three minutes. Remove the carrots to a platter and brush them with the glaze.
