Notes
This Air Fryer recipe was tested on an Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer Oven. Not all Air Fryers cook the same way. It’s best to keep watch during your initial tests after purchasing.
First Air Fryer tray is inserted into the middle cooking chamber, near the rotisserie catch. The second tray is inserted at the lower part, near the drip pan.
Once the first tray has been removed, transfer the second tray into the middle cooking chamber.
If you will not close the door while turning and basting the food, the Air Fryer temperature might change. It’s best to close the door and manually adjust the timer as needed.
TIPS:
Use a sharp knife when cutting carrots to ensure even cooking.
The carrots were diagonally sliced at ¼ inch to prevent the carrots from burning due to the maple syrup.
