You’ll Need
500g carrots, peeled and cut into batons
1 tbsp melted butter
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp dried thyme
Optional But Dangerous
Extra maple syrup
Fresh thyme
Small pinch chilli flakes
Method
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.
Place the carrots into a large bowl.
Add the melted butter, maple syrup, salt, black pepper, and thyme.
Toss thoroughly until every carrot baton is coated.
Place the carrots into the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry at 200°C for 14–18 minutes, shaking halfway through, until tender, glossy, and lightly caramelised around the edges.
For extra festive colour, drizzle over a little more maple syrup during the final 2 minutes of cooking.
Remove carefully and transfer to a serving dish.
Finish with fresh thyme if using.
Serve immediately while hot and buttery.
