🍳 Cook: 9 min

Ingredients

20		baby carrots, halved lengthwise
3 sprigs		thyme
2 tbsp	30 ml	extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup	60 ml	unsalted butter, melted
3 tbsp	45 ml	balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp	2.5 ml	light brown sugar
1/2 lemon		lemon zest
1/2 orange		orange zest
—		salt and pepper

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high.
Place the carrots and thyme in a mixing bowl and toss with the olive oil until all the carrots are well coated. Season with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, balsamic vinegar and brown sugar and whisk until fully incorporated and the sugar is mostly dissolved.
Once the grill is hot, spread the carrots onto the grill or grill pan in a single layer and grill for 4 to 5 minutes.
Brush with the balsamic butter and flip. Grill for another 3 to 4 minutes, brushing the carrots with the glaze every 2 minutes.
Once the carrots have softened, brush with the butter mixture and season with salt and pepper.
Drizzle with any remaining balsamic butter, top with the citrus zest, adjust the seasoning and serve.
