Ingredients

2 pounds baby carrots or 15 big carrots, peeled and sliced into 1½-inch sticks
2 tablespoons butter melted
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons brown sugar
fresh parsley chopped, optional for garnish

Instructions

Melt butter in the microwave. Add olive oil, honey, and brown sugar to the melted butter and whisk together until combined.
Place carrots in a medium-sized bowl. Pour brown sugar glaze over the raw carrots and stir to coat all sides.
Preheat the air fryer for 2 minutes at 370ºF.
Add the coated carrots to the air fryer basket in a single layer. Carrots shrink as they cook, so it is okay to have slight overlaps in the basket.
Air fry for 8 minutes. Remove the basket and shake to rearrange the carrots. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the carrots and continue to air fry for 4 more minutes.
Test the tenderness of the thickest carrot with a fork. If needed, add 2 minutes to achieve desired tenderness.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot.
