Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your grill to medium heat, aiming for a temperature of about 350–400°F. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled.
  2. Wash and peel the carrots, trimming the ends. Toss the cleaned carrots with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Place the carrots directly onto the preheated grill in a single layer. Grill for about 5 minutes, turning halfway for even cooking.
  4. Prepare the glaze in a small bowl by whisking together honey, brown sugar, and lemon juice until smooth.
  5. Brush the honey brown sugar glaze generously onto the carrots while they're still on the grill. Continue grilling for an additional 5 minutes, turning occasionally.
  6. Remove the grilled carrots from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving warm.

Notes

For even cooking, ensure carrots are similar in diameter. Reduce grilling time for baby carrots, and prepare glaze in advance for convenience.
