Plus, the air fryer produces a delicious crispy outer crust that takes roasted carrots to a whole new level.

Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Honey Carrots

The best way to cook carrots is by air frying them. Air frying gives the carrots a crispy golden exterior while leaving the insides tender and juicy. In this recipe, we will be using honey to add a touch of sweetness to the carrots. So let’s get started!

• Carrots: You can use baby carrots or diced carrots.
• Olive Oil: Use high-heat oil, such as avocado oil, olive oil, coconut oil, or grapeseed oil.
• Honey: Adds a great glaze to the carrots. 
• Seasonings: Salt and black pepper

How To Cook Honey Roasted Carrots In Air Fryer

If you’re looking for an easy and delicious side dish, look no further than air fryer honey roasted carrots. These carrots are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a sweet and slightly spicy honey glaze.

Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, add the carrots, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat.

Step 2: Then, place them in your air fryer basket, set the temperature to 390 degrees F, and set the time for 12 to 20 minutes.

Shake the basket frequently during the cooking process, so all of the carrots get perfectly roasted!

Pro Tips:

• Carrots: If you do not use baby carrots, you can easily use cut carrots. Make sure that the carrots are about the same size. 
• Crowding; For best results leave plenty of room around the carrots, and place them into a single layer. This will allow for the hot air to freely circulate around the carrots, which will cause them to perfectly roast up!
• Flipping: Depending on the air fryer that you are using, you may need to flip the carrots, halfway during the cooking process. If you have an air fryer basket, shake your basket frequently during the cooking process. 
• Timing: Since, every air fryer is slightly different, and you can use any air fryer in making these carrots, it is important that you watch the carrots s they roast up in the air fryer.
