Instructions

Light the grill over medium-high heat and let it preheat.
Wash and peel the carrots thoroughly.
In a small bowl, mix coconut oil, cinnamon, chipotle paste, chili powder, and salt. Rub this mixture evenly over the carrots.
Place the carrots on the grill over indirect heat. Grill for 20-25 minutes, flipping them occasionally every 7-8 minutes. Check for doneness; they should be soft yet slightly firm at the center.
Transfer to a serving platter, top with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve.

Adjust the amount of chipotle paste to control the spiciness to your liking.
Garnishing with fresh cilantro adds a bright flavor contrast to the dish.
These grilled carrots pair well with a variety of meat dishes or can be enjoyed as a hearty vegetarian option.
