Learn how to make the best-roasted carrots using your air fryer. These Air Fryer Carrots have a sweet touch with a drizzle of honey. Easy and delicious, I enjoy these as a snack or with a meal.
Currently, my entire family is obsessed with our air fryer. It’s used daily. At lunchtime the kids cook up chicken nuggets, mini pizzas, nachos, you name it, it has been made.

It’s not only great to make meals in, like Air Fryer Crispy Honey Chicken, or a side dish, like Air Fryer Breakfast Potatoes.
This past Christmas I was telling my sister-in-law about our air fryer; she grinned ear to ear listening to me going on and on. So I went on Amazon and quickly ordered her one.
As she started to use it she would message and tell me what they were making. The second day she tried air frying veggies, she said the carrots were amazing and so easy to do. I had to try it and I was thrilled I did. These baby carrots are not only drool-worthy to look at but also even more incredible to eat.

What’s great about these roasted carrots is that you can make them sweet or savory, really, it is your choice. What I love about the air fryer over roasting them in the oven is the amount of time.
A pound of baby carrots fits well in any traditional air fryer; I have a larger one and can easily manage 2 pounds of baby carrots.
Easy Glazed Carrots
Making carrots in the air fryer is an absolute dream. The best part is that there is no waiting for the oven to preheat. Plus the air fryer makes it so easy and the clean-up is simple.
The carrots are lightly oiled and seasoned. Another bonus of using the air fryer to roast any vegetables is that you hardly need any oil, to get that same texture that you do roasting vegetables in the oven.

Ingredients
I love to use baby carrots, but this is only because of convenience; you could easily use regular carrots and cut them into slices and get the same delicious taste, but why add all that effort?
I season them with salt and pepper. Then finish off with a drizzle of honey.
- 1 lb baby carrots
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 2 teaspoons honey optional
- parsley finely chopped, optional garnish

How to Cook Carrots in the Air Fryer
Always consult your air fryer’s guide for cooking tips. Every model is a little different, but this is how I do it, and it works perfectly every time:
- Set the temperature to 380 degrees on the air fryer.
- Place the prepared carrots inside and cook them for 18 minutes.
- For the best results, toss the carrots every five minutes or so. This will ensure they cook evenly.
- Right before you are about to serve drizzle with a bit of honey and cook for another 1-2 minutes in the air fryer to give them a nice golden glaze.
- Serve them hot from the air fryer.

What to Serve Them With
What I love best about this side dish (or snack) is that they go with many meals. Here are some ideas you might like to try:
- Pair them with honey chicken tenders with homemade biscuits for a complete meal.
- For something lighter, you might like my grilled chicken. Add some fruit salad on the side.
