Ingredients

6 medium-sized carrots

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Carrots:
    Peel the carrots and cut them into evenly sized sticks or rounds, depending on your preference.

  2. Season the Carrots:
    In a large bowl, toss the carrot pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. For a smoky flavor, you can add paprika.

  3. Preheat the Air Fryer:
    Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

  4. Air Fry the Carrots:
    Place the seasoned carrots in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure they cook evenly. Air fry at 375°F for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even crisping.

  5. Garnish and Serve:
    Once the carrots are golden brown and tender, remove them from the air fryer. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
