Get everything you need from Walmart+ without leaving the house!
The best part is you can easily get all the recipe ingredients with a Walmart+ membership! I have been a Walmart+ member for years, and the free grocery delivery, especially, has been a lifesaver. There’s a $35 order minimum, and restrictions apply.
And if you don’t have an air fryer (or just want to upgrade yours) you can even snag my same air fryer from Walmart and get it delivered for free with your groceries. I’ve owned this one for a few years now, and really do love it. Not only is it pretty to look at, but it also works great!

Tips for making these air fryer carrots:
- If you need a good air fryer reonlinemendation, I love my Beautiful brand 6-quart air fryer from Walmart! It works great, and the basket has stayed nice and held up to frequent use.
- Want to make these in the oven instead? Cook them at 400 degrees for 35-40 minutes until tender and caramelized.
- Feel free to change up the seasonings on these to what sounds great to you! I think ginger and citrus would be a great flavor onlinebo, as one example.

I normally don’t get excited for roasted carrots and these are just too good. Consider doubling the recipe for a larger crowd and making a couple of batches. I will be making these again for Easter and serving them alongside my ham.
