Grilled Carrots with Smoky Ketchup

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Sides

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 tbsp. olive oil, divided
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
  • 1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
  • 1 jarred roasted yellow bell pepper, rinsed and chopped
  • 1 tbsp. honey
  • 1 tbsp. sherry vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Pinch of kosher salt plus 1/4 tsp, divided
  • 2 lbs. thin rainbow carrots, scrubbed
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high.

  2. Heat 1/2 tbsp. oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, until the garlic starts to brown and the onion softens, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a mini food processor. Add bell pepper, honey, vinegar, paprika, and a pinch of salt; process until smooth. Set aside.

  3. Place carrots on a rimmed baking sheet and brush with the remaining 2 tbsp. oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 tsp salt and pepper.

  4. Grill the carrots, perpendicular to the grates so they don’t fall through, turning often, until tender-crisp and lightly charred, about 15 minutes total. Serve with the reserved ketchup.
