This is a tasty recipe-the combination of flavors is great. It is also easy. I think the next time I make it I would just saute it all together (including the pecans) so they coat too - nice entry-good luck!! Might depend on how crunchy - cooked you like the carrots to remain - they may need to cook a bit longer for my taste. RSC#10.

I love sweet carrots, and these were very good. Simple to make and the pecans added a nice touch. 15 minutes was not long enough on my grill..my carrots werent browning yet but were tender and I think they would be better once they started to char. I might leave out the onion in this and just stick with the carrots..very good taste and super easy!
