4. Place carrots in a single even layer in the tray of the air fryer or the air fryer basket and cook until crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. These fries are best when served immediately after cooking, but if you need to reheat them, toss them back in the air fryer for a few minutes so they stay crispy.

Can I make Carrot Fries in an oven?

Absolutely. I’ve been making carrot fries long before air fryers were around. Just preheat oven to 375 and place carrots in a single on a baking sheet for 20 minutes or until tender with a crispy outer layer.

Serve these carrot fries just like french fries or sweet potato fries dip in your preferred sauce. I love eating these with ranch or dipping in some mayo.Air Fryer Carrot fries on plate
