Ingredients
Scale
- 15 Medium Carrots
- 2 Tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 3 Tablespoons Honey
- 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
- Fresh Parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and peel all your carrots.
- Slice the carrots into 1 ½ inch long pieces to ensure they cook evenly in the air fryer. For extra thick parts of the carrot, also slice them long ways to create two 1 ½ inch pieces. Place in a medium-sized bowl.
- Melt butter in the microwave for 6-8 seconds.
- Add olive oil, honey, and brown sugar to the melted butter and stir well until combined.
- Pour glaze over the sliced carrots and stir well to coat all sides of the carrots.
- Preheat your air fryer for 2 minutes at 370 degrees F.
- Add the coated carrots to your air fryer basket in a single layer. Carrots shrink as they cook, so it is okay to have slight overlaps in the basket.
- Air fry for 8 minutes. Then, shake the basket to rearrange the carrots. Drizzle any remaining leftover glaze on top of the carrots. Continue to air fry for 4 minutes.
- Test the tenderness of the thickest carrot with a fork. If needed, add 2 minutes to achieve more tenderness.
- Place the air-fried carrots into a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
