Grilled Carrots | @naturallyella

When I first moved my diet towards being whole foods/plant based, summer family get-togethers were tough. I'd go and attempt to pick at the food options which nearly always consisted of the traditional American cookout: burgers/hot dogs, chips, potato salad, and coleslaw. This usually meant I'd leave hungry and have to run home to eat before doing anything else. This morphed into me bringing a box of vegetable burgers (it was a start) to eventually preparing a couple sides to introduce everyone to something new. Sometimes people would eat it out of politeness while others actually enjoyed the change of pace.

In terms of recipes, you can't really get much easier than this. You can make the chermoula up ahead of time (there's a note on the recipe about this) and then simply take your carrots ready to grill (and be prepared to convince people that you're not pretending the grilled carrot is a hotdog- I've heard this one before and see it occasionally floating around the internet). This recipe is great by itself, served over your favorite grain (I prefer quinoa or couscous), or even toss together with some greens for a salad. One great thing about grilled carrots? Not even a need to peel!

  1. This looks fabulous. I'm like you were - bringing veggie burgers to our family get-togethers. I am going to bring this along next time. Yum!!

  2. Ah, the never-ending struggle of attempting to maintain a whole/clean eating diet at family gatherings.... I know thee only too well! Also, I love the combination of carrots and strong, punchy herbs (I recently posted a salad quite like this myself).
