Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 pound baby carrots
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp mixed herbs
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • Pinch salt
  • Pinch black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for 3 minutes to ensure it reaches the right temperature for even cooking.
  2. Dry the carrots: If the baby carrots feel wet, gently pat them dry with a paper towel to prevent excess moisture which could affect texture.
  3. Season the carrots: Place the baby carrots in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with mixed herbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat all the carrots evenly with the seasoning.
  4. Arrange in the basket: Spread the seasoned carrots in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Make sure to leave small gaps between them for proper air circulation. Cook in batches if needed for smaller air fryers.
  5. Air fry: Cook the carrots at 390°F (200°C) for 10 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through to promote even cooking. Check tenderness with a fork and air fry for an additional 2-3 minutes if needed until fork-tender.
  6. Serve safely: Use tongs to remove the hot carrots from the basket as it will be very hot. Serve warm as a side dish or healthy snack.

Notes

  • For crispier carrots, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
  • If fresh carrots are used instead of baby carrots, slice them into uniform sizes to cook evenly.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more herbs or spices if desired.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the air fryer.
