Preparation Steps
1
Thoroughly wash and peel the carrots. Halve or quarter them lengthwise to ensure even cooking.
2
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, honey, salt, and pepper. This will be your marinade.
3
Place the carrots in a large bowl and brush them with the marinade. Let them sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill grate, lightly oil it to prevent the carrots from sticking.
5
Place the carrots on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, until they are nicely charred and slightly tender.
6
During the last minute of grilling, brush the carrots with BBQ sauce, then cook for another minute to allow the sauce to caramelize slightly.
7
Remove the carrots from the grill and sprinkle with fresh thyme before serving. Serve warm, either as a side dish or as a standalone dish.
