Ingredients

• 1 pound Carrots
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C).

Step 2

Wash and peel the carrots. Cut them into uniform sticks approximately 1/2 inch thick and 3 inches long to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrot sticks with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss to coat the carrots evenly.

Step 4

Place the carrot sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary to ensure optimal air circulation.

Step 5

Air fry the carrots for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. The carrots should be tender inside yet slightly crisp on the outside.

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the carrots from the air fryer. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 7

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if using, and serve immediately.
