- Do you know who loves carrots? What's up, Doc?
0:10
(laughing) The Easter bunny loves carrots,
0:14
and this is all about things we're fixing
0:19
And these beautiful carrots, they were fresh
0:25
and they had their tops still on them.
0:28
And they have been cut because this dish
0:34
doesn't take long to cook at all, y'all.
0:37
So you want to cut your carrots, mm excuse me.
0:45
You want to cut your carrots long ways.
0:51
I can't wait to get to some sharp knives,
0:54
or at least my knife sharpener.
0:58
Okay, you just want to make sure they're not-
1:03
(knife chopping) too, too big.
1:08
'Cause like I said, this cooks in about 15 minutes.
1:12
So you see, I've got the carrots
1:16
in one of our accessories that go with the air fryer.
1:24
So I'm going to have to do these in the air fryer
1:28
because I've already got something in my oven
1:31
at a totally different temperature.
1:32
I'm going to try this in the air fryer.
1:37
Beautiful, beautiful carrots. Mm.
1:41
This recipe is from Cooking With Paula Deen Magazine,
1:45
and it's orange glazed roasted carrots.
1:51
I've got half a stick of butter.
1:55
I've got two shallots that have been diced up.
2:08
Let me get it all out. And then we have our garlic,
2:17
which is one tablespoon of minced garlic.
2:22
We're going to cook this for two minutes,
2:26
stirring the whole time because
2:32
garlic can burn really quickly.
2:37
I've got my heat set on just a notch above medium.
2:46
You just want to keep that garlic turning
2:50
so it won't burn because I myself don't care
2:53
for burned garlic. It'll turn real bitter on you.
3:01
So like I said, we're just going to cook this
3:03
for about two minutes,
3:07
and our half a stick of butter has not even melted yet.
3:15
So two minutes on these. (spoon banging)
3:19
I might cut that up just a little bit, Eddie,
3:22
since I'm going to stand here and watch it very closely.
3:29
Here are our beautiful carrots.
3:33
Now this accessory is one of the accessories
3:37
that you can order along with your air fryer,
3:42
so these just fit perfectly down into the air fryer.
3:52
Okay. Our butter is finally melted.
4:05
Mm, it smells so good. So aromatic.
4:15
Okay, so I think it's been two minutes, don't you, Eddie?
4:19
- [Eddie] Yep, since you started, it's exactly two minutes.
4:23
- All right, I'm going to add our honey.
4:29
This is going to make those carrots kind of sweet.
4:34
I'm going to add our salt, and I'm going to add our pepper.
4:43
Let me reach up here and get-
4:45
I just love my coarse ground pepper.
4:51
All right, so we're going to stir this up,
5:00
and then the next thing we're going to add
5:04
is two cups of orange juice. (juice pouring)
5:10
Wouldn't that be great if it was really fresh,
5:12
fresh orange juice? It would take a while though
5:15
to get that much juice, wouldn't it, Eddie?
5:17
- [Eddie] Well, a couple of weeks ago,
5:19
we could have gotten them off the tree.
5:21
- I mean- our citrus has really produced beautifully,
5:30
and when I say our, Bobby's produced so well.
5:35
He and Claudia had so many beautiful, beautiful lemons.
5:39
And at Dogwood, we have a lot of citrus trees over there,
5:45
and they were just loaded this year.
5:48
The tangerines, the oranges, the grapefruits, and the lemon.
5:53
- [Eddie] The carpenters working on the house
5:56
have enjoyed the tangerines and the oranges.
6:00
- Oh, good! I'm so glad that they're getting eaten.
6:04
With us not being in the house yet,
6:08
it's not like I can just go out and pick some right then.
6:12
All right, normally we would put all of our carrots
6:19
on an aluminum foil lined baking sheet,
6:25
and we would put these all on a single layer.
6:28
Because you see how many carrots
6:29
I can't fit in there in our pan.
6:33
But like I said, I can't up the temperature
6:37
because this one cooks at 450 in the oven,
6:40
and we've got something cooking at 350 right now.
6:44
All right, now this is starting to boil, our sauce mixture.
6:54
It's got butter, shallots, garlic, two cups of orange juice,
6:58
two tablespoons of honey, and it calls for
7:03
a teaspoon of salt but I didn't do that much
7:05
because I'm only able to cook about half of our carrots.
7:10
We're going to cook this and reduce it
7:13
to about a cup and a half, and hopefully
7:16
it's gonna thicken up, because maybe of the honey.
7:21
We're going to reduce that down,
7:24
but while that is reducing down,
7:27
we're going to take our carrots
7:31
and I'm spraying them with olive oil.
7:33
(can spraying) (carrots clanging)
7:40
There you go, and I'm going to put these in the air fryer.
7:47
Our recipe tells us to cook it for 10 minutes
7:52
while we're reducing, and I'm going to run it
7:56
all the way to 430 because if I was doing this
8:01
truly like the recipe said,
8:03
it would be in a 450 degree oven.
8:06
So the closest I can get to that is 430,
8:09
and that's hot, y'all.
8:12
Oh yeah, I'm going to turn this up just a wee little bit.
8:16
You don't need to constantly stir this,
8:19
but just occasionally, and I want to check the clock, Eddie.
8:33
This should take 12 minutes
8:36
and our carrots are cooking for 10.
8:40
Our timer is in use right now,
8:43
so about 4:22, or 3:22. Sorry, 3:22.
8:50
I'm all confused with the time change. (laughing)
8:55
This should be ready about 3:22.
8:59
Look over in there, Eddie,
9:01
and see how good our carrots look.
9:03
Now that's 10 minutes in the air fryer,
9:06
and I actually reduced our liquid down
9:09
to one cup instead of a cup and a half
9:12
because I wanted it to get a little bit thicker.
9:16
We're just going to pour that-
9:17
(timer buzzing) Uh oh.
9:20
Something else is going off.
9:23
I'm just going to cover those carrots,
9:26
and I'm going to put them back in the microwave-
9:28
I mean in the air fryer (laughing) for five more minutes.
9:34
Our air fryer is fixing to buzz off,
9:39
but I want to show y'all these beautiful carrots.
9:45
Look at that bubbly, wonderful pan of fresh carrots.
9:53
Does that not look like out of this world, Eddie?
9:56
- [Eddie] Yes, it looks so good.
9:59
- Yes. I think y'all will love it, and hopefully,
10:04
because of the honey in it and the orange juice,
10:07
maybe you can entice your children into-
10:11
- [Eddie] They're candy carrots. (laughing)
10:12
- Yeah, candy carrots. (laughing)
10:14
That's what we'll tell them, candy carrots. (laughing)
10:18
Happy Easter, y'all. Love and best dishes.
