Drescription

Cooked carrots are given a major upgrade with this quick air fryer recipe. Cayenne pepper, black pepper and chili powder give these carrots a little heat, while brown sugar and butter mix to create a sweet caramel flavor. In 10 minutes, you’ll have an impressive side that would have taken 45 minutes in the oven!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound medium carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces, larger pieces halved lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped

Directions

  1. Toss the carrots with the butter, sugar, salt, chili powder, black pepper and cayenne pepper, if using, in a medium bowl. Transfer the carrots to a 6-quart air fryer in a single layer and cook at 400 degrees F until browned and slightly charred on the edges, about 10 minutes (see Cook's Note). Sprinkle with the mint and serve immediately.
