Ingredients

  • 6 medium carrots
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon coarse Kosher salt
  • teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
  • 1 ½ tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer to 370° F for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, chop the carrots into 2-inch pieces on the diagonal. Cut pieces in half lengthwise (or quarter if very large/thick).
  • Place carrots in a medium mixing bowl and toss with the olive oil, salt and pepper.
  • Add the carrots to the preheated air fryer basket and shake them out into a single layer. Air fry for 12 minutes at 370°, shaking the basket to toss halfway through the cook time.
  • While the carrots cook, wipe out the bowl that you used to season the carrots. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey and minced garlic.
  • Once the carrots have cooked for 12 minutes, return them to the mixing bowl. Pour the honey garlic butter mixture over the carrots and stir to coat.
  • Return the carrots to the air fryer basket and cook for 6-8 more minutes, until tender and golden brown on the edges (if your carrots were on the smaller side they will cook faster). Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Recipe makes 3 smaller servings or 2 generous servings and may be doubled to serve more people. For a double recipe, you may need to cook the carrots in batches. When all batches are done, you can place all batches in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes to heat through.
