Whole carrots are parboiled until just tender, then grilled to pick up char and smoky flavor before being brushed with a honey mustard glaze. The result is a side dish with caramelized edges and a tangy-sweet finish, well suited for summer cookouts or as an easy weeknight side alongside grilled meats.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds carrots, peeled and trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1/4 cup honey mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Method

  1. Bring a 6-quart saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the carrots and cook until just tender but still firm, about 6 minutes.

  2. Drain the carrots and pat dry with a towel. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with the olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  3. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F.

  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey mustard and honey to make the glaze.

  5. Place the carrots directly on the grill grates and grill, turning occasionally, until charred in spots and tender, about 10 minutes.

  6. Brush the carrots generously with the honey mustard glaze and grill 1 to 2 minutes more, turning once, until the glaze is sticky and caramelized.

  7. Transfer the carrots to a serving platter, brush with any remaining glaze, and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
