Air Fryer Baby Carrots. How to air fry raw baby carrots including our favourite honey glaze and the perfect seasoning. Hardly any prep and an easy dump and start air fryer snack.
Air Fryer Baby Carrots
Last month I shared with how to cook air fryer carrots and potatoes and today is the turn of just the baby carrots.
What you probably donโt know is the production line that happens when a new recipe is created here at Recipe This.
It will start with initial ideas and thinking about what we want to make next as part of our air fryer recipes collection.
It will normally be added to my notes folder on my Iphone with a plan to fit it in when you have a gap in our content calendar.
Then when it is a good time to make it, we will buy in groceries (if we donโt have them already) and then we will try it out a few times.
Then we will do a final run through where photos will be taken, and notes will be jotted down.
This is when our puppy Allie will feel like we are teasing her. The only good light is in our hallway and she will sit at the gate smelling what we are making.
That night I will edit the photos on my phone, and it will upload the photos directly to my laptop.
Once we have recipe notes and photos it will be added to my next recipe writing day. On those days I will write up a few recipes and Kyle will wait until I have a batch of them to make the graphics look good for social media.
Then after a few days of writing up recipes Dominic will have a few office days and will load the recipes up and schedule them for a date in the future.
When that scheduled date arrives, the recipe will go live, and you will see the finished air fryer recipe.
But I am also a HUGE fan of using up leftovers and if I have spare supplies from recipes that will be used in another recipe.
That is how our air fryer baby carrots happened. We bought a lot of baby carrots for making our carrots and potatoes and the spare bags were then used to make this delicious recipe for you today. So now you know how it came about!
Can You Air Fry Carrots?
Absolutely! Carrots air fry wonderfully and you will be surprised just how good air fryer carrots turn out.
You can air fry fresh carrots, cooked carrots and of course baby carrots. You can also make carrots in the air fryer with honey, maple syrup, brown sugar, or a mixture of the three.
You can also make your carrots crispy in the air fryer and you can even pack them up for the kids in their lunch box.
Though I like to take them down to the beach for a picnic like this:
