1 tspsmoked paprika
1 tspcayenne pepper

Instructions

1
Prepare the quail by removing the organs and rinsing. In a bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Marinate the quail in the mixture for at least 30 minutes.
Tip: For a more intense flavor, marinate the quail overnight.
2
In another bowl, mix brown sugar, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Toss the carrot chunks in the spice mixture, ensuring they're evenly coated.
Tip: The spice mixture can be adjusted to taste.
3
Thread quail and carrot chunks onto skewers, alternating between the two.
Tip: Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before using to prevent burning.
4
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Cook the skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the quail reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the carrots are tender.
Tip: Brush the skewers with any remaining marinade during cooking for added flavor.
5
Serve hot, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
