Ingredients
olive oil for brushing
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon honey
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound tri-colored baby carrots
1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
Directions
Brush an air fryer basket with olive oil.
Whisk together 1 tablespoon olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add carrots and toss to coat. Place carrots in the air fryer basket in a single layer, in batches, if needed.
Cook in the air fryer at 390 degrees F (200 degrees C), stirring once, until tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer warm cooked carrots to a large bowl, add balsamic glaze and butter, and toss to coat. Sprinkle with chives and serve.
Recipe Tip
You can substitute full-sized carrots for baby carrots; just halve any large pieces lengthwise, then cut into 2-inch lengths.
