Equipment
- Air fryer
- Mixing bowl
- Measuring spoons
- Cutting board
- Knife
- Tongs
Ingredients
- 1 pound Carrots, peeled and sliced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- ½ teaspoon Garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Paprika
- ¼ teaspoon Salt, or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Prepare Carrots
- Peel the carrots and slice them into even pieces so they cook evenly. Place them into a large bowl to make seasoning easier.
Season
- Drizzle olive oil over the carrots, then add garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well until all pieces are evenly coated.
Preheat Air Fryer
- Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit for two to three minutes. This helps the carrots start cooking immediately.
Air Fry
- Place the seasoned carrots into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for twelve minutes, shaking the basket halfway for even browning.
Serve
- Remove the carrots once tender and lightly crisp. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve warm as a simple side dish.
Notes
- Add honey or maple syrup for a sweet version.
- Try Italian seasoning or cumin for flavor variation.
- Best served fresh but can be reheated in the air fryer.
