Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb fresh carrots (peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch diagonals or sticks)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by washing and peeling your carrots. Slice them into uniform diagonal pieces about 1/2 inch thick. Cutting them to a similar size ensures they all cook evenly. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Add the sliced carrots to the bowl with the honey mixture. Toss them thoroughly with a spatula or your hands until every carrot piece is evenly coated in the glaze. Make sure no dry spots remain, as the honey and oil are essential for that perfect caramelization.
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes. Place the seasoned carrots into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary. Set the timer for 15 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure the carrots brown evenly on all sides.
- Check the carrots for tenderness with a fork. They should be soft with slightly charred edges. If you prefer them softer, add another 2-3 minutes. Transfer the hot carrots to a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining glaze from the basket over the top and garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
