Grilled Orange & Dill Carrots
Grilled orange and dill carrots are a vibrant and flavourful side dish featuring fresh carrots that have been grilled for a nice smoky char. The dish is enhanced with a zesty orange glaze and aromatic dill. Although recommended to be cooked directly on a grill, they can also be made in foil over the campfire.
Ingredients
- 6 medium carrots
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp orange juice
- 1 ½ tsp fresh dill, or ½ tsp dried dill
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
Prep the sauce (do this first if using dried dill to allow the flavours to reactivate)
- 1. Juice orange and combine 2 tbsp worth with honey and dried dill.

- 2. Turn grill on to medium heat (or ensure campfire is a similar cooking heat).
- 3. Wash and peel carrots (peeling optional). Slice lengthwise as close to the middle as possible.
- 4. Toss carrots in vegetable oil. Stir or shake well to lightly coat all carrots as evenly as possible.
- 5. Once grill is heated, place carrots directly on grill. Cook for 8-10 minutes. Flip halfway through to allow both sides of carrots to char. They should be slightly soft when done.
- 6. Remove from grill and place on a plate. Generously drizzle with orange, dill and honey sauce.
