Preheat your air fryer (or Ninja Foodi) to 375 degrees Fahrenheit according to manufacturer instructions (usually it’s 4-5 minutes). (Mine was 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes) Cosori 5.8 quart

Wash the fresh carrots and pat them dry with paper towels. Trim the ends (most of the very thin part should be cut off as it will simply get charred very quickly and burn), and cut the carrots in half. (Large carrots in quarters, after air frying carrots will significantly reduce in size). Mine came up to about 4 inches long and ¾ inch thick strips.

In a larger mixing bowl toss the carrots in honey, oil, rosemary, salt, pepper. Set aside for 15-30 minutes.

Once the air fryer is preheated, place carrots into the basket in a single layer (spray the basket lightly with a little oil or use air fryer basket liners) and air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through a couple of times to ensure even frying. I like to add 2-3 fresh rosemary stalks into the air fryer basket.

You’ll need to do this in 2-3 batches depending on the size of your air fryer basket. It took me 2 batches with Cosori 5.8 quart although this may differ depending on the type of air fryer used such as a Philips air fryer or a 6-quart air fryer.

The roasted carrots will be crispy, golden brown and cooked through until softened inside but not very soft like when baking.

Add crumbled feta cheese and fresh rosemary stalks on top when serving. Sweet and salty flavored carrots are best enjoyed as side dish or with dipping sauces.
