Maple-Glazed Grilled Carrots
  1. 1

    Heat an outdoor grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grate.

  2. 2

    Brush the carrots with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Lay the carrots on the grill perpendicular to the grates. Lower the heat to medium and cook, turning them often, until they begin to caramelize and are cooked through, 14 to 18 minutes. Shift them to indirect heat and keep cooking if they start to burn.

  4. 4

    Brush the carrots with maple syrup and grill for 1 minute more, then transfer to a plate. Serve right away.
