Air Fryer Carrot Fries
Description
The Air Fryer Carrot Fries start with peeled carrots cut into matchstick shapes, seasoned simply with garlic powder and salt, and dressed with olive oil to promote browning. Cooking at 400°F in the air fryer and stirring halfway helps achieve an even color and texture. While not as crunchy as deep-fried or oven-roasted fries baked at high heat, these carrot fries remain pleasantly soft inside with some crispy edges.
They can be served immediately with your preferred dipping sauces, making them a straightforward vegetable side or snack. The recipe notes that doubling the amount may require cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can limit crisping. The fries offer a way to enjoy carrots in a playful form without frying oil.
Some crispness variation is expected compared to other cooking methods, but the air fryer offers convenience and less oil. The optional parsley garnish adds mild freshness to the warm fries.
Ingredients
- 4 large carrot peeled and cut into matchsticks
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons parsley optional, freshly chopped
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine carrots, olive oil, garlic powder and salt and stir until combined.
- Place them in the air fryer and cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 to 18 minutes, stirring them halfway through cooking. Spread the out so that they don't overlap.
- Remove from the fryer and serve immediately with dipping sauces of your choice.
Notes
- Cooking the carrot fries spread out in the air fryer is crucial for better crisping.
- They might not become as crispy as oven-baked fries at high temperatures.
- Double the recipe if desired but cook in batches if your air fryer is small to avoid overcrowding.
