Gather all ingredients.
Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray the basket with nonstick spray.
Combine butter, honey, orange zest, and cardamom in a bowl. Transfer 1 tablespoon of the sauce to a separate bowl and set aside.
Add carrots to remaining sauce and toss to coat. Place carrots in the air fryer basket.
Cook in the preheated air fryer, tossing every 7 minutes, until carrots are roasted and fork-tender, about 15 to 22 minutes.
