Ingredients

• 6 medium carrots
• 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt (or your favorite seasoning)
• 2 tablespoons butter

Here's how to make it:

1. Cut the carrots, peeled or unpeeled, diagonally into chunks. Put them into a bowl. Carrots don't need to be peeled. If you're not peeling them, scrub them under water before cutting. I did not peel my carrots. Use rainbow carrots for a beautiful presentation.
   
2. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, garlic salt and butter. Melt in the microwave. Stir to combine. 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.
   
3. Pour the butter over the carrots. Toss to coat the carrots.
   
   
4. Cover the air fryer basket or tray with aluminum foil. Pour the carrots onto the foil.
   
5. Air fry the carrots at 390 degrees F for 15 minutes.
   
6. Serve. Store any leftover carrots in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.
