Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 1 pound baby carrots
  • ½ tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrots with 1 tablespoon honey, olive oil, salt and black pepper.
  • Preheat air fryer at 380˚F. Place the seasoned carrots in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  • Air fry carrots for 10 to 12 minutes until fork tender. Cook for one or two minutes more for really tender carrots.
  • Drizzle with leftover honey and serve.

Notes

Variations:
  • Substitute maple syrup or 1 tablespoon of brown sugar instead of honey.
  • To make it savory, try adding herbs like Italian seasoning, oregano, thyme and garlic powder or smoked paprika. Parmesan cheese, lemon juice or chopped parsley will be great sprinkled when serving.
Storage - If you have leftover carrots, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days.
Reheat - you can reheat the baby carrots in the microwave or reheat them in the air fryer for a few minutes until warm and crisp.
Freeze - I don't recommend freezing the cooked baby carrots.
