🥘 Ingredients
carrots — 500g (1.1 lb)
olive oil — 1 tablespoon
salt — 1 teaspoon
smoked paprika — 1 teaspoon

honey (optional) — 1 tablespoon
👨🍳 Steps
1Peel the carrots and cut them into uniform sticks, about 1 cm thick.
2In a bowl, toss the carrot sticks with olive oil, salt, smoked paprika, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
3Preheat the air fryer for 3 minutes at 180°C (350°F).
4Arrange the carrots in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd – cook in batches if needed.
5Cook for 15–18 minutes at 180°C (350°F), shaking the basket every 5 minutes for even cooking.
6If using honey, drizzle it over the carrots during the last 2–3 minutes of cooking to create a caramelized glaze.
7Check for doneness with a fork: the carrots should be tender inside and slightly caramelized outside.
