Ingredients
- 12 ounces carrots I used baby-cut (340 grams)
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil
- ⅛ teaspoon coarse sea salt or less
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
MISO GLAZE:
- 2 tablespoons koji miso
- 1 tablespoon hon mirin
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil
- 1 teaspoon Tamari
- ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons coconut sugar
GARNISH:
- lightly toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer at 376°F (191°C). Set at 12 minutes.
- Rinse and pat dry baby-cut carrots then transfer to a medium-sized bowl.
- Drizzle oil, season with salt and black pepper, then gently toss to coat the baby-cut carrots.
- Transfer seasoned baby-cut carrots onto a parchment-lined Air Fryer tray and scatter the same size (typical 2-inch) carrots into a single layer. Slowly insert the tray into the middle cooking chamber, near the rotisserie catch.
- Air Fry seasoned baby-cut carrots for 6 to 8 minutes or until slightly fork tender, gently tossing halfway through.
- If using an Air Fryer with a basket, transfer seasoned baby-cut carrots on a crisper plate and follow accordingly.
- Using the same medium-sized bowl, mix miso, hon mirin, coconut sugar, tamari, ginger, and oil.
- Once the baby-cut carrots are slightly fork tender, remove from the Air Fryer and lightly toss into the miso mixture. Return the miso-coated baby-cut carrots into the Air Fryer and cook for another 4 minutes or until tender-crisp without burning the glazed vegetables.
- Transfer to a serving plate and serve as a snack, side dish, or part of a charcuterie board.
Notes
This recipe was tested in 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.
TIPS:
Package indicated serving, ¾ cup (85 grams), making 4 servings per package.
If the package bought contains different sizes of baby-cut carrots, Air Fry carrots in batches and according to size.
Divide the miso mixture if air frying more than one batch of baby-cut carrots due to different sizes of carrots in one package.
I used Hikari Miso - Enjuku Koji Miso, originally beige but the color darkens when left at room temperature, even if unopened. Store in the refrigerator for unopened or opened koji miso to slow down the natural darkening of the miso.
I used Hon Mirin and Tamari, a gluten-free soy sauce. Use regular soy sauce or simply “soy sauce” if preferred.
