Maple Roasted Air Fryer Baby Carrots
These air fryer baby carrots are roasted in a maple syrup glaze and tossed with crunchy roasted pecans. They're the perfect side dish for your Thanksgiving or Christmas menu. Plus, they're super easy to make and and can be on the table within 15 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 pound baby carrots
Air Fry Baby Carrots Marinade
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon vegan butter
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Melt the butter in the microwave. In a medium sized shallow bowl, whisk the all the marinade ingredients into the butter.
- Add the carrots to the bowl and toss until they're coated in the marinade.
- Remove the carrots from the marinade with a slotted spoon. Do not discard the marinade. Transfer the carrots to the basked of an air fryer and cook at 400° F (204° C) for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. *see note 1Baby carrots that are cut from larger carrots are thicker and might require more cooking time.
- Add the chopped pecans to the marinade, and toss to coat.
- When there's 2 minutes left on the timer, remove the pecans from the marinade with a slotted spoon and transfer them to the air fryer.
- Remove the carrots and pecans from the air fryer using a spatula or a slotted spoon and transfer to your serving dish.
Notes
1.It's a good idea to use a parchment paper liner in the basket of your air fryer. Not does it make clean up easier, but it prevents the pecans from falling through the holes in the insert.
