Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sweet & Spicy Air Fryer Carrots.
Step 1
Start by gathering all your ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking experience.
Step 2
Preheat your air fryer to a sizzling 400°F (200°C) and give the basket a light spray of cooking spray to keep those delicious carrots from sticking.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, blend together the melted butter, hot honey, fragrant grated orange zest, and a pinch of ground cardamom.
Step 4
Set aside a tablespoon of this delightful mixture in a separate bowl for later—it’s going to add a special touch! Now, take those vibrant baby carrots and toss them in the remaining sauce until they’re beautifully coated.
Step 5
Arrange the carrots in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they have enough space to roast evenly.
Step 6
Cook them in the preheated air fryer, giving them a gentle toss every seven minutes.
Step 7
In about 15 to 22 minutes, they’ll be perfectly roasted and fork-tender, ready to shine on your plate.
Step 8
Once they’re done, mix the freshly squeezed orange juice with the reserved honey-butter sauce and toss this zesty blend with the cooked carrots until they’re well combined.
Step 9
Finally, season with a sprinkle of salt and a dash of ground black pepper to taste.
Step 10
Enjoy the sweet and spicy flavors that will make your taste buds dance!.
