Instructions
Grilled Carrots
Heat Grill:
Heat your grill to medium-high heat (375-400F degrees) with a direct heat zone.
Prep:
Peel the carrots, and remove the stems. Toss them in olive oil, salt and pepper.
Grill:
Place carrots on the grill and cook for 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until slightly tender.
Orange-Maple Glaze
While the carrots are grilling, heat olive oil in a saucepot over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté for 1 minute.
Stir in the syrup, orange juice and orange zest. Cook for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat, and set aside.
Plate
Place the grilled carrots on a platter. Drizzle with glaze. Garnish with fresh herbs and toasted almonds.
Notes
One clementine orange, like a Cutie or Halo, works great for this recipe because it yields the perfect amount of juice and zest.
