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.
Carrots With A Twist
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! No one wants boring carrots and the sauce is definitely what makes these carrots special!
