While many people consider “barbecue” to be meats that are covered or cooked in sweet tomato-based or tart mustard–based sauces, that doesn’t really define true barbecue. Barbecue is defined by cooking slowly over low heat and adding smoke to the flavor profile. And while these carrots don’t spend hours cooking, they do spend much longer cooking than most! An American pale ale works well as the beer for cooking, both to help offset the sweetness of the carrots and reinforce the bitterness of the char once it comes off the grill.
