Ingredients

2 pounds carrots (about 12-16 medium carrots, about 1-inch in diameter)
1 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon chipotle paste
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
salt, to taste
for topping - fresh cilantro

Instructions

Light the grill over medium-high heat and let it come up to temperature.
Wash and peel your carrots.
Season carrots. Mix coconut oil, cinnamon, chipotle paste, chili powder, and salt in a small bowl. Rub mixture evenly all over carrots (using your hands is the easiest).
Grill. Place carrots on the hot grill over indirect heat and grill for 20-25 minutes, flipping and rotating occasionally (about every 7-8 minutes). Time will depend on the size of your carrots, and some might be done before others. Carrots should be slightly soft when you pinch them, but have a slight firmness towards the inside when done.
Enjoy! Transfer to a serving platter, top with cilantro if desired, and enjoy.
