Ingredients
- 1 pound baby carrots
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients, except for the carrots, in a medium bowl and whisk until combined.
- Add the carrots to the bowl with the mixture and toss until the carrots are well coated.
- Place the carrots into the air fryer basket and discard any remaining liquid in the bowl.
- Air fry for 15 minutes at 400°F, checking them halfway through and shaking the basket if necessary.
Notes
- I used a 3-quart air fryer for this recipe and it was plenty big. I could have fit more, if needed.
- With that said, be careful not to overfill your air fryer basket. Overcrowding the basket will affect how quickly and evenly the carrots cook.
- If your air fryer only goes up to 390°F, you can cook the carrots at that temperature and they should still come out delicious.
- There’s no need to coat your air fryer in anything for this recipe. Just toss the carrots right in.
- Each air fryer is a little different so you may need to adjust the temperature or cook time slightly. You’ll know the carrots are done when they’re fork tender.
- If you want your carrots browned a bit and a little caramelized, you can air fry them for a few extra minutes. Be careful not to air fry them too much longer as they may end up too soft.
