These Balsamic Glazed Carrots make for a delightful side dish, perfect for elevating any meal with minimal effort. Cooking them in an air fryer not only enhances their natural sweetness but also gives them a lovely caramelised exterior, while keeping the inside perfectly tender.
Start by peeling and cutting the carrots into uniform sticks, ensuring they cook evenly. In a mixing bowl, toss the carrots with a splash of balsamic vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. For an added touch, consider incorporating a hint of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
Preheat your air fryer to around 200°C (about 390°F). Arrange the carrots in a single layer in the basket, allowing ample space for air circulation. Cook for approximately 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure those beautiful, caramelised spots form all over.
Once cooked, remove the carrots and drizzle with a touch more balsamic vinegar for a vibrant finish. Enjoy your Balsamic Glazed Carrots as a stunning addition to any dinner table, impressing family and friends alike with their exquisite taste and vibrant colour.
