Sweet and Spicy Air Fryer Carrots image

Cooked carrots are given a major upgrade with this quick air fryer recipe. Cayenne pepper, black pepper and chili powder give these carrots a little heat, while brown sugar and butter mix to create a sweet caramel flavor. In 10 minutes, you'll have an impressive side that would have taken 45 minutes in the oven!

1 pound medium carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces, larger pieces halved lengthwise
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
