Air Fryer Roasted Carrots
Roasted carrots in the air fryer is a delicious dish. This is not plain and boring, rather they’re sweet, salty and lip-smackingly delicious. Basically vegetable candies. It’s one of my kids favorite side dishes.
Carrots are naturally sweet and roasting brings out more of the caramelly sweetness. The soya sauce and spices balance out the sweetness to give it an umami flavor. This dish so easy to make and is ready within minutes.

Step By Step Process
How To Make Air Fryer Carrots
With a few basic ingredients and steps you can make this delicious sweet and salty air fryer carrots.
- Peel and slice the carrots diagonally.
- To a bowl, add sliced carrots, honey, soy sauce, red chili flakes, salt, pepper and oil. Mix until the carrots are coated.
- Transfer the carrots to a 7 inch round baking pan.
- Place the pan in the air fryer and cook for about 20 – 25 minutes stirring every 5 minutes until the carrots are lightly caramelized and tender.
- Remove the pan from the air fryer, transfer to a bowl and sprinkle with parsley and sesame seeds.
Recipe Tips
- Use a round or square cake pan that fits into your air fryer. I have a Cosori 5.8QT Air Fryer and I use a 7 inch round baking pan. A 7 inch or 8 inch cake pan fits into most 6QT air fryers. If you have an Air Fryer oven use the baking pan that comes with it.
- Don’t use a perforated pan as the carrots need to be cooked in the dressing.
- Make sure you stir the carrots a couple of times during cooking to roast evenly and distribute the dressing.
- Once you finish cooking, make sure you use tongs or gloves to pick up the pan from the Air Fryer as it will be hot.
