Ingredients

2 pounds carrots (about 12-16 small to medium carrots)
1 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon chipotle paste
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
salt, to taste

Instructions

Light grill over medium-high heat and let it come up to temperature.
Wash and peel your carrots (peeling is optional), but can make for a prettier presentation.
Mix together coconut oil, cinnamon, chipotle paste, chili powder, and salt. Rub mixture evenly all over carrots (using your hands is the easiest).
Place on grill over indirect heat and grill for 20-25 minutes, flipping and rotating occasionally (about every 7-8 minutes). Time will depend on how thick your carrots are 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!
