    Oven Instructions:

    1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

    2. While the oven heats up, add the carrots to a bowl, along with the brown sugar, melted butter, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until the carrots are well coated.

    3. Add the carrots to a parchment paper lined baking sheet and roast for 15 to 20 minutes until carrots are soft and caramelized.

    4. Remove carrots from the oven. Let cool, then enjoy!

    Make Ahead Method:

    1. Prepare carrots as directed in recipe.

    2. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

    3. Reheat in the microwave or in the air fryer at 365 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 to 2 minutes until warm.

    Recipe Variations And Substitutions:

    • Maple syrup or honey can be used as a substitution for brown sugar.
    • I used baby carrots for the convenience, but you can use rainbow carrots or regular sized carrots cut into smaller pieces.
    • The amount of brown sugar in this recipe can be reduced if you prefer to make them less sweet.
    • If you would like to switch things up and make these carrots more savory, you can try these seasonings: dill, garlic powder, ranch seasoning, lemon juice, cumin, balsamic vinegar.

    Storage And Reheating Instructions:

    • Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
    • To reheat, preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees Fahrenheit and heat for 1-3 minutes until crispy.

    Pro Tips:

    • The air fryer I used was the Instant Vortex Plus 6 quart. Since all air fryers are different, you will need to adjust the cook time based on the air fryer you are using.
    • These carrots are soft. If you prefer your carrots firmer, you will need to cook them for less time. Always check for doneness halfway through.
    • These carrots are sweet. Less sugar can be used if you prefer to make them less sweet.
    • Dry baby carrots off with a paper owl before coating with the butter/oil mixture. This will help them get a better roast in the air fryer.

      We made these, pro tips very helpful. What we enjoyed most is the fact they’re great served hot or chilled out of the fridge. Perfect middle-of-the-road side dish that conquers post-main-entree-need for something sweet but no room in belly for dessert. Guiltless snack for 3a hunger pangs instead of ice cream pint. Thx @munchygoddess.com
