Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound carrots, peeled and trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Cut the trimmed carrots into uniform 1-inch pieces.
- Place the cut carrots in a bowl and toss them with the olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 minutes.
- Place the seasoned carrots in the air fryer basket in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
- Air fry for 10 minutes.
- Remove the basket and drizzle the maple syrup over the carrots. Toss gently to coat.
- Return the carrots to the air fryer and cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the glaze is slightly sticky.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a glossy finish, do not add the maple syrup until the last few minutes of cooking. Adding it too early can cause the sugar to burn.
- If your carrots are very thick, cut them into smaller pieces (about 3/4 inch) to ensure they cook through evenly.
- You can substitute melted butter for the olive oil for a richer flavor.
