Ingredients
Equipment
Steps
- 1
Toss carrots with olive oil and salt. Cut pieces evenly for uniform cooking.
- 2
Air fry at 380°F for 10 minutes, shaking halfway.
- 3
Mix honey, melted butter, red pepper flakes, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
- 4
Toss carrots with the glaze. Air fry 3-5 more minutes until caramelized and tender.
- 5
Garnish with fresh herbs, sesame seeds, and flaky salt.
Tip: Cut carrots the same size — big pieces stay raw while small ones burn. Add the glaze near the end so the honey caramelizes instead of burning. They should be fork-tender with crispy, caramelized edges.
