Grilled Whole Carrots With Fresh Nutmeg Recipe
Grilling carrots brings out their natural sweetness. Brush on a sweet-savory glaze that features freshly grated nutmeg, and the flavor pops even more.
Fresh nutmeg is a hard, egg-shaped seed that’s about 1 inch long and grayish-brown in color. Look for it in small packages or jars in the spice aisle. Leaving 1 inch of green stems on the carrots adds a touch of color.
One serving of this grilled whole carrots with fresh nutmeg side dish contains more than a day’s worth of antioxidant vitamin A beta-carotene, which is necessary for boosting immunity and maintaining healthy skin and eyes.

Grilled Whole Carrots With Fresh Nutmeg Ingredients
2 large bunches of carrots (at least 12 carrots, 8- to 9-inches long) with greens attached
2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons good-quality balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 whole nutmeg, very finely grated (about 1 1/4 teaspoons)
1 teaspoon very finely minced fresh Italian parsley
Additional fresh-grated nutmeg for garnish (optional)
Grilled Whole Carrots With Fresh Nutmeg Recipe Instructions
1. Peel carrots and trim 1/8-inch off bottom tips. Cut greens off top, leaving 1 inch.
2. Microwave carrots for 5 minutes, until they’re barely starting to get tender. Preheat grill to medium-high while carrots are cooking in microwave.

5. Garnish with minced Italian parsley and freshly grated nutmeg. Serve immediately.
