Step 1. Start your campfire or charcoal briquettes.

Camp Cooking Tip: When you are cooking over a campfire, you need to start the fire early enough so you have coals (rather than flames) at the time you begin cooking. One of the biggest mistakes camp cooks make is trying to cook over flames … yikes!

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 coals.

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

Step 5. Mix the sauce ingredients and brush over carrots toward the end of their cooking time.

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 campfire carrots over a hot campfire or even a hot charcoal or gas grill.

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch about 1 pound carrots, scrubbed, patted dry and cut to approximately 4-inch long sticks
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt divided
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Prepare campfire or charcoal grill for cooking with medium-high heat.
  • In a bowl, toss the carrots, olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • 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.
  • In small bowl, mix lemon juice, honey, rosemary, 1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Brush over carrots the last few minutes of cooking.
