Servings: 6
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots rinsed, peeled, and halved lengthwise
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper or to taste
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
- chopped fresh chives or parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat the Air Fryer to 400˚F and lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
- Combine the ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, melted butter, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the carrots to the honey mixture and toss to coat.
- Cook. Working in batches, add the carrots to the air fryer basket in a single layer; cook for about 10 minutes, flipping or shaking the carrots halfway through cooking. Continue with the remaining carrots.
- Add the balsamic glaze and serve. Transfer the cooked carrots to a serving plate and drizzle them with balsamic glaze. Garnish with chives and serve.
Notes
- Carrots: I used long carrots for this recipe, but you can use any type of carrot that you like or have on hand; baby carrots, large carrots, purple carrots, etc... For a prettier presentation and faster cooking, I suggest to cut the carrots in half, longwise.
- Prepping the carrots: If your carrots are longer, you may find it easier to toss them, with the honey butter, in a rectangular dish, like a 9x13 baking dish. OR, use a pastry brush to brush the carrots with the mixture instead of tossing them in a bowl.
- Cooking the carrots: I have a single basket air fryer and that is why I cook the carrots in batches. IF your air fryer can fit all the carrots, and in one single layer, then it's fine to cook them all at once.
- Balsamic Glaze: Make sure you are using a balsamic glaze and NOT balsamic vinegar.
