Follow The Directions

01

Step

Lightly brush the basket of your air fryer with olive oil. (1 minute)

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper. Add the carrots and toss until evenly coated. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Arrange the carrots in the air fryer basket in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Air fry at 390 degrees F (200 degrees C), stirring halfway through, until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Transfer the warm, cooked carrots to a large bowl. Add the balsamic glaze and butter, tossing gently to coat every carrot in the glossy sauce. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Sprinkle generously with fresh chives and serve immediately. (1 minute)

For an even deeper flavor, consider roasting the carrots for 5 minutes before air frying.
Adjust the amount of balsamic glaze to your liking – a little goes a long way!
If you don't have fresh chives, try using a pinch of dried herbs like thyme or rosemary.
This dish pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, grilled salmon, or a hearty vegetarian main course.
