Ingredients

• 8 medium-sized Carrots
• 3 tablespoons German-style mustard (whole grain or Dijon)
• 1 cup Dark beer (such as Dunkel or Märzen)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 teaspoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the carrots, trimming off the tops and tips if necessary.

Step 2

Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 375°F or 190°C).

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, dark beer, olive oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.

Step 4

Place the carrots in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them. Turn the carrots until they’re evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes (or up to 1 hour for more flavor), turning occasionally.

Step 5

Remove the carrots from the marinade and reserve the remaining liquid for basting.

Step 6

Place the carrots directly on the grill grates or use a grill basket to prevent them from rolling. Grill the carrots for 15-20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes to achieve even grill marks and cooking. Baste with the reserved marinade during grilling for added flavor.

Step 7

Once the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized, remove them from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.

Step 8

Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm as a side dish with grilled meats or a hearty salad.
