Instant Pot Carrot Bacon Chips (Air Fryer Lid)

 

2 T. pure maple syrup

1 T. liquid coconut aminos or low-sodium soy sauce

2 tsp. liquid smoke

1 tsp. seasoned salt

1 tsp. garlic powder

2 large carrots peeled and sliced on the bias (diagonally) into chips about 1/8-inch thick (or get a 1 pound bag of pre-sliced carrot chips)

 

Combine all the ingredients, except for the carrots, in a mixing bowl. Place the liner pot in the Instant Pot. Then, with the metal partition in position, place the air fryer basket in the liner pot. Place the carrot chips in the air fryer basket and brush the glaze on them. Add the Air Fryer Lid, hit Broil (400°) for 5 minutes and hit Start to begin. Flip midway through, baste with more glaze and then hit Broil for another 5 minutes. When done, let cool for a few moments before enjoying now or later.  How crispy you like your bacon is your call. Simply check on it while air frying and cook until it’s the desired crispiness! To ensure even air frying, try not to overcrowd the basket with carrots laying all over each other. Do it in a few batches if need be. And YES! You can totally do this in any air fryer or even roast in an oven at about 400°! Just keep an eye on it as all ovens vary and we don’t want burnt carrot bacon chips!
