Carrots are cut into fry-shaped batons, air-fried until tender and lightly browned, then tossed in a warm maple glaze scented with nutmeg and cinnamon. The result is a sweet-savory side with crisp edges and a soft center, ready in well under an hour. Serve alongside roasted chicken, pork chops, or as a snack with a yogurt dip.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into fry-shaped batons
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Method

  1. Peel the carrots and cut them into fry-shaped batons about 1/2 inch thick and 3 inches long, trying to keep the pieces similar in size for even cooking.

  2. In a large bowl, toss the carrot fries with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

  3. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F for 3 minutes.

  4. Arrange the carrot fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer, working in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.

  5. Air-fry at 380°F for 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the carrots are tender and lightly browned at the edges.

  6. While the carrots cook, whisk together the maple syrup, melted butter, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a small bowl until smooth.

  7. Transfer the hot carrot fries to the bowl with the maple glaze and toss gently until evenly coated.

  8. Return the glazed carrot fries to the air fryer basket and cook at 380°F for 2 minutes to set the glaze.

  9. Transfer to a serving plate, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve warm.
