Cooking oil spray(I prefer avocado oil spray)
½tspsea salt
¼tspblack pepper
½TbspItalian seasoning
Chopped parsley and green onionsfor garnish
Instructions
You can use either baby carrots or regular carrots to make these air fryer carrot fries. If using regular carrots, wash and peel your carrots and then cut each carrot into 3 inch chunks. Then cut each wider (from the top of the carrot) 3 inch section into quarters lengthwise, and the thinner sections from the bottom og the carrot in half. If you are using baby carrots, cut them in half lengthwise if they are thicker, or you leave them as is if they are thinner.
Next add a single layer of carrot slices or baby carrots to your air fryer basket. They can overlap some, but you don’t want to stuff it too full.
Then spray the carrots with your preferred oil spray, shake the basket of the air fryer slightly to toss the carrots and spray again.
Next, mix together your seasonings in a small bowl and evenly sprinkle the micture on top of the carrots.
Cook the carrots on 400 degrees for 5 minutes in your air fryer. Then pull the basket out and give them a good toss. Then continue cooking in 5 minute rounds, tossing after each round until the carrots are crispy and slightly browned. They should cook for a total of 15-20 minutes.
Once they are done, give them a light spray with oil again. You can also garnish with chopped parsley or green onions if you’d like!
