What Ingredients Are Needed to Make Air Fryer Garlic Roasted Carrots?
Carrots- You will need two big-size carrots and four medium-sized carrots to serve four people.
Olive Oil- Any good quality olive oil works well here. Melted butter is good for substitution. Avocado oil works well too.
Garlic- Fresh minced garlic provides a perfect depth of flavor.
Paprika- For a slight kick, it balances the sweetness of the carrot. I use cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes as a substitution.
Salt- Pinch of salt is needed.
How to Make Them-
Wash and peel the carrots. Then, cut them into your desired shapes.
Make a marinade of olive oil, paprika, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Mix carrots with the marinade.
Roast them in the air fryer at 400 F for 10-12 minutes. After 6 minutes, you should check on them and if needed, turn them over.
Your time can vary depending on the size and thickness of the carrots. I will suggest cutting them a little thick as they taste better than thinner ones.
Why Is This Recipe So Loved?
Simple and quick.
Needs only a few ingredients.
You can easily change the seasoning according to your taste and preferences.
Notes---
Your time can vary depending on your air fryer type and the size of your carrots. Keep an eye out after a few minutes for a perfect roast carrot.
Do not overcrowd the air fryer. Otherwise, you will get steamed carrots, not roasted carrots. My air fryer is a little small, so I always make roasted carrots in two batches for my family of four.
