Notes
- Serve with your favorite sauces.

- Don’t omit oil: Roasted carrot fries don’t become as crispy as regular potato fries, so a small amount of fat is used to encourage it.
- Avoid overcrowding: Whether you use the oven or air fryer, it’s important not to overcrowd the carrots, or else they’ll steam and be soft rather than crispy.
- Cut even fries: So they cook evenly. Aim for ¼-inch carrot fries for crispy fries.
- Cooking time can vary: The exact cooking time will vary based on the thickness of the fries and your oven/air fryer. Monitor them towards the end to avoid burn.
