Ingredients
Serving Sizes
- 2 carrots
- 2 teaspoons olive oil – for brushing
GLAZE
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Equipment

Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your wood pellet grill to about 350-450 °F.
Step 2: Prep the carrots. Scrub well or peel. Cut off the root and skinny tip. If the carrots are thicker than ¾ inch, cut in half lengthwise.
Step 3: Make a glaze by mixing 1 tablespoon honey, 2 teaspoons brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon olive oil. Heat in microwave for 15 seconds to get hot and stir to combine the sugar.
Step 4: Give the carrots a good brush of olive oil including the cut ends. Don’t brush with glaze yet.
Step 5: Grill the carrots directly on the well-oiled grates. Flip the carrots every 5 minutes or so.
Step 6: After about 10 minutes, brush with the honey solution. Flip and brush again.
Step 7: Grill until the carrots reach an internal temp of over 190 °F in the thickest part and tender, about 5-10 minutes.
