Equipment

  • `1 Air Fryer
  • 1 Mixing Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Carrots Peeled and cut into sticks
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Honey Or Maple Syrup or Sugar-Free Sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Mixed Dried Herbs

Instructions

Preheat the Air Fryer

  • Preheat to 180°C / 360°F for 5 minutes.

Prepare the Carrots

  • Peel and cut into uniform sticks (or leave baby carrots whole). Dry thoroughly.

Coat the Carrots

  • In a large bowl, toss carrots with olive oil, honey, salt, pepper, and herbs until evenly coated. Add rosemary or thyme if using.

Arrange in Air Fryer Basket

  • Place in a single layer in the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking. Avoid overcrowding.

Air Fry

  • Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking halfway through. Larger carrots may take 20 minutes.

Optional Glaze

  • Drizzle extra honey or sprinkle brown sugar during the last 2 minutes for a glossy, caramelized finish.

Serve

  • Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy warm as a healthy side dish.

Notes

  • Cooking time in the air fryer depends on how thick you have cut your carrots. Also, if you like them a bit crunchier, cook for 8-10 minutes. For more tenderness, cook for an extra 2-3 minutes.
  • Space carrots well so that the hot air can circulate and cook evenly. 
  • Always use a single layer for even roasting.
  • Use fresh herbs for added flavor.
  • Fresh rosemary or thyme enhances flavor without overpowering sweetness.
  • For smaller carrots, cooking time may be slightly less.
  • Can substitute maple syrup or brown sugar for different sweetness profiles.
  • To lower the carbs, use a sweetener like Erythritol or Monk Fruit.
  • Shake or toss halfway through cooking.
  • Adjust the cooking time based on the size of the carrots and the specific air fryer model.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking, but ensure airflow is not blocked.
