Sweet honey-glazed carrots cooked to tender perfection with a slight crisp using an air fryer. A quick, healthy, and flavorful side dish perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) medium-sized carrots, peeled and cut into sticks or rounds
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) pure honey
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon (about 3g) salt
  • ¼ teaspoon (1g) freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon (0.5g) ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon (0.5g) garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel about 1 pound (450g) of medium carrots and cut them into even sticks or rounds, roughly ½-inch thick.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons (30ml) honey, 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil, ½ teaspoon (3g) salt, ¼ teaspoon (1g) freshly ground black pepper, ¼ teaspoon (0.5g) ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon (0.5g) garlic powder if using. Add 1 teaspoon (5ml) lemon juice if desired. Whisk together until smooth.
  3. Add the carrots to the bowl and toss thoroughly until each piece is evenly coated in the honey mixture.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
  5. Place the glazed carrots in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overcrowding.
  6. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking or tossing the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. Carrots should be tender with a light caramelized edge.
  7. Carefully remove the basket and transfer the carrots to a serving dish. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the top and adjust seasoning if needed.

Notes

If honey is thick or crystallized, warm it slightly before mixing. Shake the basket halfway through cooking to avoid uneven browning or sticky clumps. For vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket for best results. Roasting alternative: oven at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes.
