REASONS TO LOVE THIS RECIPE

Easy. I love the extra ease of using baby carrots as no peeling or cutting is required. Simply open your bag of baby carrots, mix with the honey glaze, and air fry.
Healthy. These little orange gems are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They have many health benefits, including supporting you immunity, potential of reducing your risk of certain cancers, and promoting digestive health.
Love by all. Not only do carrots have a natural sweetness, but the slight sweetness from the honey and the creamy texture of roasted carrots makes a side dish that even the pickiest eaters will love.

And if honey isn't your thing, read the full blog post for different flavor variations.

Instructions

Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, extra-virgin olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Add baby carrots to a large mixing bowl and pour honey glaze over carrots. Mix to coat all the carrots.
Add carrots in a single layer to your air fryer basket (if a few overlap that is okay as they will shrink while cooking and create more space).
Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking air fryer basket halfway through. Carrots are done when they can easily be pierced with a fork. You can continue cooking until they are browned and roasted to your liking.
Remove from air fryer basked and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley (optional).
Enjoy!

Tips

Exact cooking time will vary depending on your air fryer and size of your carrots.
If you have leftover glaze in your mixing bowl, you can add this to the carrots at the halfway point when you shake the air fryer basket.
If desired, sprinkle finished carrots with dried herbs such as dill or thyme.
For a shiny glaze on the finished carrots, mix some additional honey and olive oil together and brush onto carrots (if sprinkling with herbs, brush on the honey mixture first).

Everyone does not have an air fryer. It takes up space that I don’t have.
