Honey Glazed Carrots are a delightful side dish that combines the natural sweetness of carrots with the rich flavor of honey and spices, capturing the essence of Moroccan cuisine. This easy-to-make dish brings a vibrant color and taste to any BBQ meal, making it a perfect complement to grilled meats.

Ingredients

• Carrots - 400 grams, peeled and cut into sticks
• Honey - 2 tablespoons
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

1. Preheat your grill or BBQ to medium heat.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, olive oil, cinnamon, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the glaze.
3. Add the carrot sticks to the bowl and toss them well to ensure they are evenly coated with the honey glaze.
4. Place the glazed carrots onto a piece of aluminum foil, folding it into a pouch to prevent the carrots from falling through the grill.

6. Remove the pouch from the grill and let it cool for a minute before carefully opening it.
7. Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish.
