This carrot recipe can be made in an air fryer with a basket or tray. (I used an Emeril Lagasse 360 Air Fryer Oven.) Try this cooking method with other root vegetables, too. Serve these air-fried carrots as a side dish with fish, shrimp, chicken, turkey, pork, beef or whatever you enjoy for dinner.

Recipe Notes
- Carrots don't need to be peeled. If you're not peeling them, scrub them under water before cutting.
- I used Morton Garlic Sea Salt on my carrots, but use your favorite seasoning blend.
- For carrots lower in sodium, use a no-salt or low-salt seasoning blend.
- Use rainbow carrots for a beautiful presentation!
- Store any leftover carrots in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.
Here's how to make it:
- Cut the carrots, peeled or unpeeled, diagonally into chunks. (I did not peel mine.) Put them into a bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar, garlic salt and butter. Melt in the microwave. Stir to combine.
- Pour the butter over the carrots. Toss to coat the carrots.
- Cover the air fryer basket or tray with aluminum foil. Pour the carrots onto the foil.
- Air fry the carrots at 390 degrees F for 15 minutes.
