Notes
Air Fryer Notes:
- Some air fryers have a pre-heat option. Preheating may reduce the cooking time a little bit.
- Do not overcook carrots. They will become mushy. A fork should be able to poke into the cooked carrot with a little resistance.
- To double the recipe, cook carrots in shifts in the air fryer. You do not want to overcrowd the air fryer.
