Start by blanching the carrots to par-cook them until tender but not fully cooked.

Peel the carrots to avoid stringy bits, especially if they are not very clean.

Cut the carrots, keeping the smaller ones whole and halving the larger ones for even cooking.

Add a generous amount of salt and red wine vinegar to the pot with the carrots to enhance flavor.

Blanch the carrots in boiling water for 5 minutes, then transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.

Preheat the grill to around 500 degrees Fahrenheit.

Prepare the dressing by combining lime juice, olive oil, sweetener, yogurt, salt, garlic, and onion in a bowl.

Grill the carrots on high heat until they are charred on all sides, about 10 minutes, turning occasionally.

Plate the grilled carrots on a bed of couscous, arranging them attractively for serving.

Drizzle the dressing over the plated carrots and finish with a swirl of olive oil.
