Are you tyred of the same old potato fries? Looking for a healthier alternative that’s still crispy, tasty, and oh-so-satisfying? Well, we’ve got just the thing for you: Air Fryer Carrot Fries! Get ready to embark on a fry-tastic adventure that will leave your taste buds dancing and your waistline smiling.
What You’ll Need:
Fresh, crisp carrots (as many as you’d like)
Olive oil
Your favourite seasonings (we recommend paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of sea salt)
An air fryer (of course!)
Let’s Get Fryin’:
Instructions:
Start by peeling and cutting your carrots into fry-shaped sticks. You can go for the classic thick-cut or opt for shoestring style – it’s all about personal preference!
Toss those carrot sticks in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil. It’s time to get them coated and ready to crisp up!
Season your carrot fries with your favourite spices. We recommend a generous dash of paprika for that smoky kick, some garlic powder for extra flavour, and a pinch of sea salt to bring out the carrot’s natural sweetness.
Preheat your air fryer to around 375°F (190°C). No need to preheat for too long – just a couple of minutes will do the trick!
Pop your seasoned carrot fries into the air fryer basket. Make sure to spread them out evenly for that perfect, golden crisp.
Cook the fries for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Keep an eye on them – you want them to be beautifully golden and crispy, not burnt!
Once your carrot fries are crispy perfection, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute. This is the hardest part – resisting the temptation to dive in right away!
Serve your carrot fries with your favourite dipping sauce – maybe some garlic aioli, ketchup, or a spicy sriracha mayo for a kick!
