Ingredients for Honey Roasted Carrots in Air Fryer
Carrots: I have used the regular orange varieties available everywhere in Australia. You can also add red, purple, etc to the mix. Baby carrots are basically grown carrots, machine cut into smaller two inches pieces and cold in packages. If using a whole carrot, cut them into two-three inches long and half-inch-thick slices (see photos)
Honey: Just regular supermarket honey is fine. If the weather is cold, the honey might get crystalized. Just warm it in the microwave or by immersing the bottle in warm water till it flows easier. This will make it easier to toss carrots to coat.
Oil: I have used olive oil. However, you can substitute with any neutral-smelling cooking oil, ghee, melted butter, or coconut oil.
Seasoning: This recipe keeps it simple by using just salt and pepper.
Herbs: I have used rosemary. You can also use a few of your favorite herbs like basil, oregano, parsley, thyme, etc.

Notes
Cooking time in the air fryer depends on how thick you have cut your carrots. Also if you like them a bit crunchier cook for 8-10 minutes. For more tender, cook extra 2-3 minutes.
Space carrots well so that that hot air can circulate and cook evenly.
