Carrots are parboiled, then marinated in an Asian-style marinade before they are grilled. This method of preparing carrots will have us all eating like Bugs Bunny!
Ingredients
- 6 large carrots, halved
- 3 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
- ¼ teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to boil; add carrots and parboil for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
Step 2
In a large glass dish, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, sesame oil, ginger, and five-spice powder; add carrots and marinate for 30 minutes.
Step 3
Prepare an outdoor grill with an oiled rack set 4 inches from the heat source. Using an oiled wire-hinged vegetable basket or just directly on the rack (whichever you find easier), grill carrots, turning constantly for a total of 10 minutes, until slightly charred.
