Serving Size: 6

Cooking Time: 60 minutes

Ingredients

• 6 Large carrots, sliced
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) light soy sauce
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) rice vinegar
• 2 Cloves garlic, minced
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) sesame oil
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) fresh ginger root, minced
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) Chinese five-spice powder

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the sliced carrots and parboil for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
2. In a large glass dish, combine the light soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, sesame oil, minced ginger, and Chinese five-spice powder. Add the parboiled carrots to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Marinate for 30 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even flavor absorption.
3. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grill rack or use an oiled wire-hinged vegetable basket for easier handling.
4. Grill the marinated carrots for about 10 minutes, turning constantly, until they are slightly charred and tender.
5. Serve the grilled carrots warm, garnished with a sprinkle of sesame seeds or chopped fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor and color.
