Tips For Tasty Air Fryer Carrots

These air fryer carrots almost taste as good as french fries, they actually make a great substitute if you want.

Air Fryer: Make sure you know your air fryer, it may take less or more time to cook your carrots depending on how your air fryer cooks. Check them at about 7 minutes, then about every 2 minutes after till desired doneness. The size of the carrots will also make a difference in cooking times. If you have thin carrots or use baby carrots it may take less time. Carrots: I like to use big carrots that I peel and cut myself. They have way more flavor than baby carrots, in my opinion. Feel free to use baby carrots though, they totally work. If your baby carrots are super wet, which sometimes happens, pat them dry with a paper towel before coating. This way the coating sticks to the carrots and will crisp up the carrots better and prevent steaming them instead of air frying them.

Variations

There are a few ways you can change these up!

Different Carrots: Try using different colored carrots. Carrots come in purple, red, white, and yellow. This will make your side dish that much more colorful and still yummy! How to Cut carrots: Instead of chunking the carrots, try slicing them lengthwise for a french fry like shape. My kids love to eat them with their fingers this way. I just love that they eat them. Different Spices: There are so many different way to season these air fryer carrots. Try dill, chili powder, turmeric, onion powder or ranch mix.
