Servings 6 people
Ingredients
- 3 pounds whole carrots
- 1 ½ pounds bacon
- ½ cup maple syrup
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat. Preheat your indirect grill or smoker to 400 degrees F. These carrots can also be cooked in an oven, if desired.
- Wrap and season. Thoroughly scrub and peel each carrot. Wrap each carrot in a piece of bacon, overlapping the ends so they are secured. Sprinkle each carrot with salt and pepper.
- Grill. Place the wrapped carrots on the grill grates (or on a baking sheet, if using the oven). Close the lid and cook for 25-30 minutes or until the bacon is golden and crisp.
- Brush with syrup. During the last 5 minutes of grilling, brush the carrots with the maple syrup. Grill until the syrup starts to bubble, remove from the grill, and serve.
- Enjoy. Remove the carrots from the grill and serve immediately. These are best when still warm.
