Buy carrots with tops attached for better flavor.

Remove the tops from the carrots and peel them.

Blanch the peeled carrots in a big pot of boiling salted water for 4 to 6 minutes until tender.

While the carrots are blanching, make a glaze with butter, red wine vinegar, salt, pepper, and grated nutmeg.

Drain the carrots and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.

Coat the carrots lightly with half of the glaze before grilling.

Set the grill for direct high heat, preferably using charcoal.

Place the carrots on the grill perpendicular to the bars to prevent them from falling through.

Grill the carrots for 3 to 5 minutes, turning them every minute until grill marks appear.

Remove the carrots from the grill and drizzle the remaining glaze over the top.

Garnish with finely chopped fresh herbs like parsley before serving.
