You gotta eat your veggies. You can’t just slap a few burgers onto the grill (love my Weber grills!) and call it dinner. Or so I’ve been told. So, why not make those veggies yummy! These grilled ginger-orange carrots definitely don’t taste like boring carrots. They pack a little sweet, and a little heat. Often carrots are too sweet for my taste. The spiciness in these little delicious bites definitely offsets that sweetness.
I’m a big fan of Sambal Oelek, an Asian chili garlic sauce. It’s nice and thick and spicy. You might not like that heat in your grilled ginger-orange carrots as much as I do, so I’d start with a little less than I state in the recipe and taste it. If you like it, stop. If you want more kick, add more!
