Preparation

Step 1

Preheat grill to medium high heat

In a small bowl, stir together lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, salt and pepper until blended, set aside.

Coat carrots with cooking spray. Grill until lightly charred and almost tender, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes.

Brush carrots with some lemon mixture, continue cooking, brushing once or twice more with lemon mixture, until carrots are tender, about 5 minutes.

Remove carrots to a serving platter and drizzle with remaining lemon mixture, or just a little if too lemony for your taste, sprinkle with mint.
