Grilled carrots with lemon zest and thyme

First, bring salted water to a boil in a large pot and preheat the grill.

Wash the carrots, remove their stems, and cut them in half lengthwise. Place them in the boiling water and cook over medium heat for 8–10 minutes, until they are still slightly crisp.

After cooking, immediately cool the carrots under cold water or in an ice bath. Then place them on the hot grill and grill for 8–9 minutes, turning at least once.
