Ingredients

Carrots

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

1/4 tsp cinnamon

Flaky sea salt

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.
