Equipment
- Grill
Ingredients
- 4 carrots peeled
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Start by preheating the grill. Close the lid so the grill heats up faster.
- Pour a little oil in a small dish and use a pastry brush to coat the carrots in oil. Then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Flip carrots over and coat in oil and seasonings again.
- Wrap each carrot in foil and tuck in the ends. Double-check that there are no holes in the foil packets before placing them on the grill.
- Reduce heat to low and add carrots to grill. Close the lid and cook carrots for 10 minutes.
- Open up grill and flip carrots over. Close lid and cook for another 10 minutes.
- Now it's time to check the carrots for doneness. Open the grill and use tongs to take one carrot packet off of the grill. Use oven mitts to open up the packet. Pierce the carrot with a fork to check for tenderness. If it is cooked to your liking, turn off the grill and remove the remaining foil packets.
- Take carrots out of foil and serve!
Notes
- Use any seasonings of your choice- you can add salt & pepper for savory carrots or cook plain carrots and then top them with honey or cinnamon
- Wrapping the carrots in foil prevents them from burning, while still getting delicious grill marks on the carrots
- Adjust heat depending on your grill. If it runs hot, you may need to cook the carrots on low so they don't burn
