Prepare sweet and slightly caramelized carrots quickly using your air fryer with this simple maple glaze recipe.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Place the cut carrots in a medium bowl.
  2. Add the maple syrup, olive oil, salt, pepper, and cinnamon to the bowl. Toss until the carrots are evenly coated.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (195°C) for 3 minutes.
  4. Place the coated carrots in the air fryer basket in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
  5. Air fry for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time, until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized.
  6. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg along with the cinnamon.
  • Do not overcrowd the basket; this allows the carrots to roast rather than steam, resulting in better caramelization.
  • If the glaze seems too thin before cooking, you can briefly toss the coated carrots with 1 teaspoon of cornstarch.
