Air Fryer Carrots

These delectably crispy and flavorful air fryer carrots are a game changer. They make a wonderfully healthy side dish, offering a natural sweetness and a satisfying crunch. The sprinkling of herbs and spices, along with the caramelization from the air frying process, elevates the humble carrot to a whole new level. This dish is a testament to the fact that sometimes, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Historically, carrots were cooked in a variety of ways, but it's the advent of air frying that has allowed us to enjoy this vegetable in its crispiest form.

Serves 4

Ingredients

Carrots
4, peeled and cut into sticks
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon
Paprika
1/2 teaspoon
Salt
1/2 teaspoon, or to taste
Black pepper
1/4 teaspoon, freshly ground

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a flavorful mixture.
  3. Add the carrot sticks to the bowl and toss until they are well coated in the spice and oil mixture.
  4. Arrange the seasoned carrot sticks in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are in a single layer. This helps them to cook evenly and become perfectly crispy.
  5. Cook for 12-15 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, shake the basket to ensure that all sides of the carrots are crisped.
  6. Once the carrots are crispy and golden brown, remove them from the air fryer.
  7. Serve hot as a side dish. They pair well with grilled meats, fish, or a hearty main salad.

Tips

  • 💡 For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the spice mixture.
  • 💡 Experiment with other seasonings like dried rosemary or thyme for a different flavor profile.
  • 💡 Remember not to overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cooking in batches is better for achieving the ideal crispness.
