Wash the carrots well, and cut off the caps and ends.
10 Carrots
If desired, peel the carrots. Cut all the carrots in half to make two sticks each, or more if preferred.
Combine the carrots, salt, pepper and oil in a mixing bowl, and toss to coat.
2 Tablespoons Olive oil, 1 teaspoon Black pepper, ½ teaspoon Salt
Spread out the coated carrots in the air fryer basket.
Cook at 400°F for 12 minutes, turning the carrots halfway through. Adjust cooking time for thinner cut carrots.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
This recipe will cook even full-size carrots through entirely, but feel free to cut your carrots into your preferred serving size! Just lower the cook time accordingly for smaller carrot pieces.
The cook time is extra flexible according to how you like your carrots. For a carrot with a little crunch left, follow this recipe's time. If you like your carrots extra butter soft, cook for another 3-5 minutes!
To save some time, don't be afraid to skip peeling the carrots! I love the rustic look of unpeeled carrots and the added texture. Just be sure to wash them well!
For an even faster recipe, use baby carrots. Just keep in mind that the wide variety of thicknesses in baby carrots can lead to slightly uneven cooking, so keep an eye on the smaller pieces.
This recipe is perfect for customizing! I never need more than just salt and pepper, but try adding garlic and Parmesan or a dash of honey and brown sugar for extra flavor!
