Chef Poppy O’Toole shared her genius recipe for mouthwatering carrots that will leave you satisfied.
To cook carrots Poppy’s way, start by cutting the ends of the carrots, peeling them, and cutting them in half.
Once they’re freshly cut, set your air fryer to 180 degrees and place the carrots in to cook for 10 minutes.
While the carrots are cooking in the air fryer, grab a microwave-safe bowl and add some honey, butter, salt, and pepper to it. Put it in the microwave for one minute to melt.
Once the carrots are cooked, coat them with honey and butter in the bowl.
Put the carrots back into the air fryer for 10 more minutes, still leaving it at 180 degrees.
