Blackstone Glazed Carrots Recipe

We love making recipes on our Blackstone Griddle. This Blackstone Carrots Recipe is loaded with flavor because of the easy ingredient glaze. The brown sugar and butter enhances the natural sweetness from the carrots to make an easy side dish.

This would be an amazing Blackstone side dish to serve this holiday season. If you have run out of oven space or stovetop space, make your side dishes on your Blackstone Griddle. it is to clean and slice fresh carrots to prepare them for the griddle.

My family loves glazed carrots even mine picky eaters who do not like carrots. We have also made Grilled Carrots in Foil Recipe or Bacon Wrapped Carrots for another delicious side dish.

What Are Glazed Carrots?

Glazed Carrots are carrots that have been covered with a buttery sugar glaze to make an amazing side dish. Carrots are already have a sweet hint to them, so keeping the ingredients simple for the glaze is easy to do.

To make this glaze we used butter, brown sugar and a pinch of salt. That is it and these simple ingredients went really well with the carrots taste.

You can easily add in some soy sauce, honey glaze or maple syrup to sweeten it up. I have even mixed in some orange juice and cinnamon to deepen the flavor. Get creative and use what you have.

Balsamic Vinegar is also a good marinade for the carrots. We love balsamic vinegar and use it for meats and vegetables.

Recipe Tips

• Cooking Carrots – You can easily make these carrots on the stovetop on a pan if you do not have a Blackstone griddle. You can also roast the carrots.
• Blackstone Dome – We like to use a dome on the Blackstone at the beginning of cooking the carrots to hold in the steam. This seems to help the carrots cook faster and evenly.
• Glaze – We like add the glaze to carrots when the carrots are cooked. Add the melted butter and brown sugar directly to the Blackstone and cover the carrots.
• Slicing Carrots – Slice carrots to about the same size so that they cook evenly and completely.

How Long to Cook Carrots on Blackstone

Cooking carrots on the Blackstone doesn’t take long to cook. After preparing the carrots and slicing them, place on the grill. We like to use a cooking dome to hold in the steam to cook the carrots.

After allowing the grilled carrots to cook on each side for about 3 minutes then add the glaze and continue cooking. This side dish cooks in about 15 minutes. Cooking time will vary.
