Why This Recipe Is A Must Try

This dish combines the natural sweetness of carrots with a smoky char that adds depth and complexity. The creamy sriracha sauce brings a perfect balance of heat and smoothness, making it both comforting and exciting. It’s a great way to enjoy vegetables with bold flavors.

Tips To Improve This Recipe

- Use fresh, firm carrots for the best texture and flavor.
- Grill over medium heat to avoid burning while getting a nice smoky char.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha in the sauce to suit your spice preference.

Directions

Blend together the yogurt, lemon juice, Sriracha, vinegar, garlic powder, and cumin in a small bowl. Give it a good stir and set it aside for the flavors to come together. Next, brush the carrots with olive oil and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Heat up your grill on low and make sure to oil the grates so nothing sticks. Place the carrots on the grill and cook them for about 5 minutes. Then turn them over and keep grilling for another 3 minutes or so, until they’re tender but still have a bit of bite. Once they’re done, transfer the carrots to a plate, spoon the creamy sauce over the top, sprinkle with some fresh cilantro, and dig in right away.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these smoky carrots as a vibrant side for grilled meats or tofu. They also pair well with a fresh green salad or a bowl of rice for a light, flavorful meal. Drizzle extra creamy sauce on top just before serving.

Storing Leftovers

Store leftover carrots and sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. The carrots will keep well for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to maintain their texture, and stir the sauce before serving again.

Turned out tasty but I found the sriracha a bit too spicy, next time I’ll use less. Otherwise really nice smoky flavor.
