Instructions

Peel your carrots and slice into pencil-thick diagonal slices.
In a large bowl, whisk together the honey and olive oil, warming the honey if need be.
Add the carrots to the bowl, and toss to coat with the honey and olive oil mixture. Season with flaky salt.

Air Fryer Instructions

Pre-heat your air fryer to 360°F / 190°C for a few minutes.
Add the carrots to the basket, and shake into a uniform layer. Do not add excess liquid from the bowl.
Place the basket into the air fryer, and cook for 5-6 minutes. Remove the basket, shake, and replace for an additional 5-6 minutes, checking carefully and removing when golden and crisp around the edges. .

Oven instructions

Pre-heat your oven to 400°F / 200°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the carrots into a single layer.
Place in the oven and roast for 15 minutes, remove, flip the carrots, and roast for another 5-10 minutes, until golden and crisp around the edges.

To serve

Add the honey roasted carrots to a plate or platter, and sprinkle generously with dukkah. Serve.

Notes

Nutrition values are an estimate only.
All air fryers work a little differently, so the cooking time may vary from model to model and appliance to appliance. I recommend you watch the carrots closely the first time you make this recipe so you can gauge how long it takes to perfectly coo, them in your machine.
When tossing the carrots with the honey and olive oil, the carrots should be well-coated but not dripping.
I used a pound of carrots in this recipe, which fit in my small-ish air fryer. If you have a smaller air fryer or want to do more carrots, you may have to cook them in batches.
