Air Fryer Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Carrots
This post is sponsored by Brighter Bites.
These Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Carrots are one of my favorite recipes to share with the family. They are a quick and easy side dish to add to most weeknight dinners. In fact, they are so easy to make, you can have your kids (or spouse) make them while you focus on the main dish!
One of our favorite ways to cook carrots is in the air fryer. Not only do you not have to heat up the house by turning on the oven, but the carrots cook faster in an Air Fryer. However, if you don’t have an air fryer, you can take this recipe and bake the carrots in the oven at 350° for 20-25 minutes, until soft and tender.
In a medium sized bowl, melt butter. Once the butter has fully melted add in the brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Making to sure mix well to incorporate all of the ingredients.
Add the brown sugar mixture to a large bowl with the carrots and coat every carrot.
Grease your air fryer basket with spray olive oil.
Add in the carrots and air fry at 330 for 8-11 minutes, until carrots are tender.
If you are using a smaller air fryer, you may have to do these in two batches. You don’t want to overcrowd the air fryer basket.
Plate the cinnamon sugar carrots and sprinkle with fresh thyme, if you are using.
NOTE: You can add 2 more tablespoons of brown sugar and about a half a tsp of ground cinnamon at the end, once the carrots are tender for additional flavor. This isn’t needed, but it may help your kids eat their carrots!
