Campfire Glazed Grilled Carrots Recipe
Campfire Glazed Grilled Carrots Recipe
These glazed grilled carrots are slightly sweet, a little tangy and deliciously charred. This easy recipe allows you to cook them over a campfire, with a charcoal or gas grill. Just toss the carrots in a little oil and salt, grill them and brush with a flavor-packed simple glaze. They make a great side for a delicate fish or chicken main dish. Psst we’re compensated…see our disclosures.
Here’s How To Make This Easy Campfire Glazed Grilled Carrots Recipe
In a bowl, toss the following:
- 1 bunch (about 1 pound) carrots, scrubbed, patted dry and cut to approximately 4-inch long sticks
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Grill over medium-high heat: Place carrots cut-side down on the campfire grill grate or charcoal grill and cover. If you are using a grill with a cover, perfect. If not, you can use a big pot lid, metal sheet pan or foil as a lid. Grill for 4-5 minutes, until the carrots develop sear marks and are beginning to soften. Flip, cover, and grill for another 4-5 minutes. You want to cook the carrots until they are softened but still have bit of crunch in the middle. In other words, don’t cook them till they are cinders. 😉 LOL
Camp Cooking Tip: Place the carrot sticks perpendicular to the gaps in the grill grate to make sure you don’t lose the carrots in the flames. It is even easier to use a broiler basket or a grill basket if you really want to play it safe and avoid grilling on the risky side. 😉 LOL

Mix glaze ingredients and brush over carrots the last few minutes of cooking:
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
It is easiest to use a Silicone Basting Brush to apply the glaze to the carrots. Make sure you use one that has a high heat temperature rating, especially if you are cooking this Campfire Glazed Grilled Carrots Recipe over a hot campfire or even a hot charcoal or gas grill. You also want to protect your hands and wrists with Extreme Heat Resistant Gloves when you are cooking in those really hot environments.
