🎄Holiday Honey-Glazed Carrots with Crispy Edges (Festive Favorite)
Total time: 20 minutes
Serves: 4
Difficulty: Easy enough to make while listening to Mariah Carey on repeat.
Ingredients:
4 large carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup if you’re feeling rustic)
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
Optional: chopped parsley and crushed walnuts for garnish
Instructions:
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, mix olive oil, honey, cinnamon, and salt. Add your carrots and toss to coat evenly.
Arrange in a single layer and air fry for 15–18 minutes, shaking halfway.
Remove and sprinkle with parsley and walnuts for that “I’m fancy now” finish.
Bonus tip: If you’re hosting a holiday dinner, double the recipe and serve these alongside air fryer turkey breast or holiday ham glaze kits for an easy, crowd-pleasing side.
Why it works: Sweet, savory, and festive — like Christmas cheer in vegetable form.
