A quick and easy recipe for air fryer carrots that turn out tender with caramelized edges in just 15 minutes. Made with simple ingredients and perfect as a healthy side dish.
Peel carrots and using a knife, cut them lengthwise in half and then in half again. You should end up with strips that are about 2-3” long. You want the pieces to be pretty similar in size so they cook evenly and you don’t want the pieces too small because the carrots will shrink when roasting.
2 large carrots
Toss carrots in a bowl with the oil, salt, pepper
½ Tablespoon avocado or olive oil, ¼ teaspoon sea salt, ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Transfer to air fryer basket in a single layer and air fry at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, tossing carrots halfway, until carrots are tender with a few brown spots.
Notes
Storage: Leftover air fryer carrots can be stored in an airtight sealed container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
Reheating: Place carrots in the air fryer in a single layer and cook at 375°F for 1-2 minutes. You can also reheat them in a toaster oven, regular oven, or microwave.
