Carrots grilled over low heat take on a sweetness, enhanced by a sprinkle of cumin and a drizzle of tahini.
These carrots don't require any complicated seasonings or techniques to turn into a deliciously smoky grilled side dish, and they work as an accompaniment to just about any meat or vegetable main you might like to throw on the grill. No complicated grilling techniques or time-consuming marinades are required here -- just medium-low heat and the patience to turn the carrots over every now and then. These work beautifully without the tahini sauce as well if you're really in the mood for something simple and easy!
