Servings: 4 - 6
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 8-12 Carrots, peeled
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- ½ teaspoon Salt
Optional
- 2 Tablespoons Honey (or real maple syrup)
- Fresh Rosemary, minced, to taste
Instructions
- Wash and cut off the ends of the carrots. Peel the carrots. Cut the carrots in half. Pat dry with a paper towel.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the carrots, salt, pepper, and oil and toss gently.
- Place the carrots in the air fryer, spacing them out evenly.
- Cook at 380°F for 12-15 minutes, tossing them half way through, until crisp on the outside and fork tender.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- The smaller the carrots are cut, the faster they will cook. So cut them how you want to serve them and change time accordingly.
- For a more tender carrot, cook for an additional 3-5 minutes. As-is, they will have just a touch of crunch left to them, which is my preference, but might not be yours.
- I peel my carrots, but it’s not a must. I just prefer it because they look better and absorb the seasonings better. You’ll want to at least wash them really well.
- You can add any seasonings you like to this recipe. This recipe is a good base, but you can add more seasonings to better match the main course you’re serving. These taste amazing as-is also.
- You can use baby carrots for this recipe as well. Again, be aware of size and thickness of carrots. This will adjust your timing as far as cooking goes.
