Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots, cut into ½-inch chunks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer. Set to 380°F and let it preheat for about 3 minutes.
- Season the carrots. In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the carrots and toss until well coated.
- Air fry. Arrange carrots in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- Serve. The carrots are done when they're golden brown and fork-tender. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill if you like. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Cut the carrots into evenly sized pieces so they cook at the same rate.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket - this ensures a roasted texture, not steamed.
- For softer carrots, add 1-2 extra minutes of cook time.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheated in the air fryer to crisp them up again.
- These carrots are delicious dipped in my Dill Mayo Sauce.
