Ingredients
- 1½ pounds Baby Carrots
- 1½ tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
- Parsley or rosemary optional garnish
Instructions
- Preheat toaster oven to 400°F (mine takes 2 to 3 minutes). Spray the air fryer tray with nonstick spray to help with cleanup.
- Mix oil, honey, and salt into the bowl with the baby carrots. Make sure to mix until carrots are all covered evenly.
- Roast in the oven for 20 minutes until carrots are tender. I do shake/stir them using tongs around the 10 minute mark.
- I check by piercing into them with a fork.Roasting Tip - The time needed for roasting will depend on how thick the carrots are and how soft you want them to be.
- Serve immediately after optional garnishing. I usually sprinkle some chopped parsley or rosemary for color and add some whole parsley sprigs to make the serving plate look pretty.
Notes
Carrots can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator. I don't freeze these because they get too soft after frozen, and my freezer space is too valuable for an inexpensive (but delicious) vegetable.
Use up the leftovers instead. Eat them as a side with another dish cut them and use them in salads, or puree the roasted carrots and add them to a soup.
