As the crisp autumn air settles in, there’s nothing quite like the comforting aroma of roasted vegetables to warm the heart. Enter Air Fryer Maple Glazed Carrots—a delightful dish that perfectly captures the essence of fall.

Begin by selecting a bunch of tender, vibrant carrots, preferably of varying hues to make the dish visually inviting. After peeling and cutting them into even pieces, toss the carrots in a bowl with a drizzle of pure maple syrup, a sprinkle of sea salt, and a hint of freshly cracked black pepper. The natural sweetness of the maple syrup will enhance the earthy flavour of the carrots, while the pinch of salt balances the sweetness beautifully.

Preheat your air fryer to 180°C, and then arrange the carrots in a single layer in the basket. In just 15-20 minutes, the air fryer will work its magic, crisping the edges while keeping the centre tender. Halfway through, give them a gentle shake to ensure even cooking.

Once they’re golden and fragrant, serve the carrots warm, perhaps garnished with a few toasted pecans or a sprinkle of fresh thyme for an added touch. This simple yet delightful side dish not only complements a traditional roast but also brings a hint of seasonal warmth to any autumnal gathering. Perfectly air-fried, these maple glazed carrots are sure to become a cherished recipe in your fall repertoire.
