Cumin-Spiced Grilled Carrots
The earthiness of cumin and heat of green onions balance against the natural sweetness of the root veggies, which are steamed first, then grilled to give them those char marks we all love.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs fresh carrots peeled and cut into sticks
- 2-3 green onions washed and trimmed, scallions
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- In pan or steamer basket, steam carrots until tender-crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain.
- Get grill very hot. Add carrots and scallions to pan until grill marks form and vegetables are heated through, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Cut scallions into 1-inch pieces.
- Toss hot vegetables with remaining ingredients.
