Equipment
- 1 Chopping board
- 1 large mixing bowl
- 1 Air Fryer oven can be used too.
Ingredients
- ½ kg Carrots 2.5 cups chopped carrots
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2-3 cloves garlic
- pink salt as per taste
Instructions
- Wash the carrots under tap water. Dry them with a kitchen towel. Chop them with ¼ inch thickness in uniform length.
- In a large bowl, add carrots, salt, garlic and olive oil. Toss them to mix well. If you don't like raw garlic, you may use garlic powder. Also, you may add garlic in the last 2 minutes of air frying, especially if you dislike the charred taste.
- While you chop carrots, pre heat the air fryer at 180 ℃ for 10 min. Place the carrots coated with oil, salt in the basket with or without parchment paper. If you want more crispy, avoid parchment paper and place the carrots directly over the basket. Air fry at 200 ℃ for about 10 min. Fry in batches for more quantity. I fried in 2 batches. The second batch took less time. It was done in about 7 min.
- The crispy and decadent Air Fried Roasted Carrot Fries are ready. Serve with your choice of dip!
Notes
-
- Carrots that are too thick may not cook evenly, while very thin ones might become too crispy or burn easily.
- To enhance the flavor, I coated the carrots with olive oil and salt and then fried.
- Arrange the carrot fries in a single layer with some space between them to avoid crowding.
- Different air fryer models may vary in cooking times, so it's essential to check for your desired level of crispness and tenderness.
- I have air fried carrots in two batches. In the first batch, I have used the parchment paper and in the second I have placed carrots directly in the fryer's basket. I felt that the one fried with parchment paper were not too crispy and a bit tender from out, whereas, the basket fried carrots were amazingly crisp and charred. You may choose the method that you prefer.
