Air Fryer Whole Carrots Recipe Tips

• Choose Similar Sizes: Use carrots that are similar in size so they cook evenly; larger carrots may need to be cut in half or adjusted for longer cook time.
• Add Seasonings Before Air Frying: Toss the carrots with oil and seasonings beforehand for the best flavor distribution.
• Don’t Overcrowd the Basket: Place the carrots in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them for optimal airflow and even cooking.
• Check for Doneness: Air fryers vary, so check the carrots for tenderness with a fork toward the end of cooking and adjust as needed.
• Experiment with Seasonings: Try adding spices like smoked paprika, cumin, or a touch of honey for extra flavor.

Storing

To store cooked air fryer whole carrots, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days. For reheating, simply pop them back into the air fryer at 350°F for a few minutes to bring back their tender texture and flavor.
