These delicious Air Fryer Carrot Fries are easy to make and healthy! This crispy side is both salty and a little sweet, making the perfect healthy alternative to french fries.
Carrots have always been a vegetable that I’ll eat because it’s there, not because I truly love them. After making these carrot fries, I can literally eat carrots every day! This recipe is super easy to make, only taking minutes to prep. You just mix all the ingredients together and toss in the air fryer!
What do I need to make Air Fryer Carrot Fries?
- Carrots
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Paprika
How do I make this recipe?
1. Preheat oven. Next, wash, peel, and cut carrots into fries.
2. Add to bowl with the spices and oil.
3. Toss in the bowl until all the carrots are evenly coated.
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.
