Glazed Carrots Asian Style pairs tender, grill-kissed carrots with a soy, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, sesame, and five-spice glaze that’s savory with a hint of sweetness and subtle smokiness. The light char deepens the aromatics, making this a standout side for grilled mains or festive spreads, especially when you want bold, Asian-inspired flavors without heaviness.

1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add the carrots and parboil for 5 minutes. Drain, then rinse with cold water.
2

In a large glass dish, mix the soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, sesame oil, ginger, and five-spice powder; add the carrots and marinate for 30 minutes.
3

Prepare an outdoor grill with an oiled rack set 4 inches from the heat source. Using an oiled wire-hinged vegetable basket or placing them directly on the rack (whichever you prefer), grill the carrots, turning constantly for a total of 10 minutes, until slightly charred.
