Craving perfectly tender and slightly caramelized carrots? Forget boiling! The air fryer is your secret weapon for delicious, healthy carrots in minutes. But how long to cook carrots in air fryer? It's easier than you think!
Generally, air frying carrots takes between 12-15 minutes at 375°F (190°C). However, this depends on a few factors. The thickness of your carrot slices or sticks is key. Thicker pieces will need closer to 15 minutes, while thinner slices might be perfect at 12.
Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket! This will steam the carrots instead of roasting them. Aim for a single layer with some space in between. Toss them halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
For extra flavor, toss your carrots with a little olive oil, salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs or spices (garlic powder, paprika, and thyme are fantastic!). Experiment with different seasonings to create your signature air fryer carrot recipe. Enjoy!
