Grilled Carrots with Lemon and Dill

Ingredients:

1 bunch (about 1 pound) carrots, scrubbed and patted dry
2 teaspoons grapeseed oil or other high-heat oil
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1 tablespoon dill, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

1. 1. Trim tops and any fibrous ends from the carrots and cut crosswise into pieces approximately 3 inches long.
   2. Cut any thick ends in half lengthwise, so all pieces are about 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick. (If you are using an outdoor grill, see note below.)
   3. In a bowl, toss with the oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
   4. Preheat grill pan or grill over medium-high heat.
   5. Place carrots cut-side down on the grill and cover. (Use a big pot lid or a metal sheet pan as a grill pan lid.)
   6. Grill for 4-5 minutes, until the carrots develop sear marks and are beginning to soften.
   7. Flip, cover, and grill for another 4-5 minutes.
   8. Carrots will be softened with a bit of crunch in the middle.
   9. Transfer the carrots to a bowl.
   10. Mix in remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, dill, lemon juice and pepper.
   11. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Serves 2-4
