Air Fryer Carrots

Lately I’ve been loving how easy it is to cook vegetables in the air fryer. Just prep, season, and air fry. It’s almost too easy. And carrots are a great inexpensive vegetable to cook any time of the year. Plus, they last a long time in the fridge…WIN! We have lots of roasted carrots recipes on our site, but these Air Fryer Carrots are my new favorite. They’re seasoned with a savory and herby seasoning mix and they’re the perfect compliment for any weeknight dinner meal.

Can You Air Fry Baby Carrots?

To make this recipe super easy, you can certainly use baby carrots instead of peeling and cutting whole carrots. Just use the same seasoning mix for a pound of baby carrots and adjust the cook time. Air fry baby carrots at 370°F for approximately 8-10 minutes or until tender to your liking.

What To Serve With These Air Fryer Carrots

Air Fryer Carrots are so versatile and can be served with a number of meals. Try them with our Air Fryer Chicken Breasts, salmon, pork chops, or juicy Pan-Seared Chicken Breasts. And you can easily pair them with another side dish like these Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts or Steamed Green Beans to make a meal!
