Grey rows are pantry staples: salt, oil, spices. They are not counted in the serving price.
Method
Peel the carrots1 and cut into batons about 1 cm thick.
Toss the carrots1 with the honey, olive oil, thyme, and salt.
Arrange in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cook at 190 °C for 14–16 minutes, shaking the basket after 8 minutes.
Remove when the carrots1 are tender inside and lightly browned around the edges.
Tips
- Why it works
- Sticks of about 1 cm soften in 14–16 minutes, and in that time the honey caramelizes on the edges without burning too much.
- Substitutions
- Swap the olive oil for the same amount of sunflower oil. Instead of thyme, use 1 g of dried rosemary or a pinch of black pepper.
- Common mistakes
- A common mistake is placing the carrots too close together. You'll notice it by pale, damp pieces with no browned edges after 16 minutes.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 3–4 minutes at 180 °C or in a pan until hot.
- Serve with
- Serve for dinner with chicken, meatballs or buckwheat as a sweetish vegetable side.
In short
- Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
