Prep the Carrots: If you're using regular carrots, peel them and cut into sticks or coins for even cooking. Baby carrots can be used whole, which makes them a convenient option.
Season the Carrots: Place the carrots in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, tossing until the carrots are evenly coated. Sprinkle the dry ranch seasoning over the carrots, tossing again to ensure all the pieces are well-coated with the seasoning.
Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes. This step helps in cooking the carrots evenly.
Cook: Arrange the carrots in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for even cooking. You might need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Air Fry: Cook the carrots at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure they cook evenly. The exact cooking time may vary based on the air fryer model and the size of the carrot pieces.
Garnish and Serve: Once the carrots are tender and slightly browned at the edges, transfer them to a serving dish. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped dill or parsley to add a pop of color and fresh flavor.
