Traeger Glazed Carrots Recipe

This one’s for backyard cooks who like to keep things straightforward and delicious. No need to fuss, you just wash, peel, glaze, and grill.

Carrots hold up well on the grill, which makes them a great choice when you want a side with some texture and char. That bit of crunch plays off the soft glaze in the best way.

The glaze is simple, but don’t let that fool you. Butter, honey, and a little salt is all you need. Just keep basting while they grill to build layers of flavor.

Multi-colored carrots bring some extra visual pop to the table, but you can absolutely make this with plain orange carrots too. It’s flexible and forgiving, which is what every good cookout needs.
