Tips & Tricks (5)

Cut Carrots Uniformly 🔪
Cut all carrots to the same size (approximately ¼-inch thick) to ensure even cooking and consistent caramelization in the air fryer basket.
Pat Dry Before Seasoning 💧
Thoroughly dry your carrots with paper towels after washing to remove excess moisture, allowing the olive oil and seasonings to adhere better and achieve superior caramelization.
Don't Overcrowd the Basket 🧺
Arrange carrots in a single layer with space between each piece—overcrowding creates steam instead of the crispy, caramelized exterior you're seeking.
Shake Midway Through 🤝
Shake or flip the carrots halfway through the 15-minute cooking time to ensure all sides get equal heat exposure and achieve uniform golden-brown coloring.
Add Fresh Herbs at the End 🌿
Toss fresh thyme or parsley with the hot carrots during the last 2 minutes of cooking to preserve their vibrant color and aromatic oils instead of cooking them away.
