Getting Started
- Cut carrots into similar sizes, such as 1/2-inch thick slices or 1-inch pieces. This ensures even cooking; inconsistent cuts lead to some pieces undercooked and others burnt.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes before adding carrots. Cook in a single layer, in batches if necessary, to ensure proper air circulation and browning, not steaming.
- A light coating of oil (1-2 teaspoons per pound of carrots) is crucial for achieving crisp exteriors and enhancing flavor. Toss thoroughly before cooking to coat all surfaces.
- Shake the air fryer basket every 5-7 minutes during cooking. This promotes even browning, prevents sticking, and ensures all sides get exposure to the circulating hot air.
