Key Ingredients
Carrots – In my experience, thicker carrots perform a bit better in this recipe than thinner ones. However, you can use really any carrots you can get your hands on for these grilled carrots! Carrots are typically very dirty and you’ll need to be scrub them well before eating. For this recipe, you’ll then want to peel the outer layer of each carrot before proceeding. Maple Syrup – There is something so satisfying about the sweet and salty combo found in these grilled carrots! When cooked, carrots release a bit of sweetness, therefore just a little bit of maple syrup is all you’ll need to bring that incredible flavor out. You can even drizzle more maple syrup over your finished dish, if you’d like!
