Instructions

Carrots

Preheat the grill on high heat
Peel and trim the ends off the carrots. Toss in olive oil, salt, garlic, and cayenne
Add to the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes until carrots develop dark grill marks. Flip and cook an additional 6-8 minutes (12-15 minutes total cooking time) until the carrots are just fork tender but still maintain a soft crunch at the thickest ends. Cooking time will be less if your carrots are thinner than 1/2"

In a wide mouth mason jar, add all of the sauce ingredients EXCEPT the greek yogurt and mix with an immersion blender until the herbs are pureed.
Add the greek yogurt and mix until incorporated. Sauce will keep for up to 1 week in the fridge
Serve the sauce over the carrots.
