Balsamic Glazed Grilled Carrots
Balsamic Glazed Grilled Carrots are the best gluten free and vegan appetizer or side dish! Sweet, savory, simple and healthy...you will love them!
Equipment
- Grill or grill pan
- small jar or bowl
Ingredients
For the Carrots:
- 10 large carrots (multi-color are fun!)
- olive oil
- salt + pepper
For the Glaze:
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp low-sodium tamari (or soy sauce if not GF)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- ½ tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Start by peeling all of your carrots. Then, slice them in half lengthwise. If some of them are very large/thick, cut them into quarters.
- Add carrots to a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the carrots. Let cook for about 20 minutes or until fork tender, turning frequently to avoid burning.
- While the carrots are cooking, make the balsamic glaze by adding all the ingredients to a small bowl or jar. Shake it up or whisk, until the oil emulsifies.
- Remove carrots from the grill pan and add them back to the large bowl. Pour the balsamic glaze on top and toss the carrots to get them evenly coated.
- Serve with chopped green onions! Store any leftovers in the fridge - they will keep well at least for a few days.
