Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare Ingredients and Preheat Grill: Gather all ingredients. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, around 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Grill Carrots: Brush carrots with vegetable oil. Grill, covered, over direct heat until fork-tender and lightly charred, turning occasionally. (14-16 minutes)

03

Step

Prepare Hot Honey Glaze: While carrots grill, whisk together honey, gochujang or harissa paste, melted butter, lime juice, salt, and crushed red pepper (if using) in a small bowl until well combined. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Glaze and Finish: Brush the grilled carrots with the hot honey mixture. Grill for another minute to allow the glaze to caramelize slightly. (1 minute)

05

Step

Serve: Transfer carrots to a serving platter. Drizzle with any remaining hot honey glaze. Sprinkle generously with fresh cilantro before serving.

For a deeper smoky flavor, consider using a wood chip smoker box on your grill.
Adjust the amount of gochujang or harissa paste to control the level of spiciness.
If you don't have a grill, you can roast the carrots in a 400°F (200°C) oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender, then toss with the hot honey glaze.
Try garnishing with toasted sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
