Air Fryer Baby Carrots

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

Wash and dry the baby carrots thoroughly. If the carrots are larger, you can cut them into uniform sizes for even cooking.

In a bowl, drizzle the baby carrots with a bit of olive oil to coat. Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and any optional seasonings (like garlic powder or dried herbs) over the carrots. Toss to evenly coat the carrots with the seasonings.

Place the seasoned baby carrots in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow for proper air circulation.

Air fry the baby carrots at 375°F (190°C) for about 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket or tossing the carrots halfway through the cooking time. This ensures even browning.

Test the carrots for doneness by piercing them with a fork. They should be tender but still have a slight bite.

Depending on the size of the carrots and your air fryer model, cooking times may vary. Adjust the time if needed, but keep an eye on the carrots to prevent overcooking.

Once the baby carrots are cooked to your desired level of tenderness, remove them from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving dish.

Garnish the baby carrots with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as chopped parsley, for an extra pop of color and freshness.
