A great inclusion in any barbecue, smoked carrots can either complement other dishes or take center stage! This recipe calls for a pellet grill, such as a Traeger or Green Mountain Grill. The carrots are seasoned with a blend of za'atar and honey, and then garnished with feta cheese and parsley prior to serving for tons of flavor.
For serving
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
Preheat pellet smoker to 250 degrees F.
In a small bowl, mix together the honey, olive oil, lemon juice, za'atar, and salt. Toss the cleaned carrots with half the honey mixture and reserve the other half.
Place the carrots directly on the grates of the smoker. Close the lid and smoke for 1 hour. Cook for 1 hour 30 minutes for softer carrots.
When the carrots are done, remove them to a serving plate using tongs. Toss with the reserved honey mixture and top with the feta cheese and parsley. Serve.
I recommend using a blend or one of the following types of pellets: apple, alder, cherry, maple, or pecan.
