– Fast. Make these family-friendly carrots in under 30 minutes.
– Easy. Peel your carrots, make the glaze, and bake.
– Few Ingredients. Less than five ingedients are needed for this perfectly sweet side dish.
– Versatile. Mix this recipe up with a variety of spices, carrots, and varieties of sweetener.
– Carrots. I prefer smaller carrots for this dish because they cook faster and are more tender.
– Honey. Grab locally sourced honey when you're able to help combat seasonal allergies.
– Brown Sugar. Light brown sugar or brown sugar swerve to keep the carb count down.
– Butter. I prefer to use an unsalted butter for these carrots so I can season them to taste after they're finished roasting.
Cook the carrots at 375°F for about 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket or tossing the carrots halfway through the cooking time. The exact time may vary depending on the air fryer model and the thickness of your carrot rounds.
The candied carrots are ready when they are tender and the sugar has caramelized, giving them a glossy appearance. Make sure they are not too soft but still have a slight bite.
