Description

Ingredients
1 lb Carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
1 tbsp Olive oil
2 tbsp Honey
0.5 tsp Salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp Fresh thyme or parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C)
- In a large bowl, toss carrot sticks with olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper until well coated
- Place carrots in a single layer in the air fryer basket; do not overcrowd. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through
- Carrots should be tender and crispy around the edges. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately
Notes
Cut carrots into uniform pieces for even cooking.
Preheating the air fryer is crucial for a crispy exterior.
Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
Let carrots rest 1 minute after cooking to set the glaze.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwave.
