Notes
Storage
Best served hot and fresh from the air fryer. Fridge – Keep leftovers in the fridge in an air tight container for up to 3 days. Return to the air fryer for a few minutes to reheat or use in dips, salads and soups.Hints and tips
- You will get the best results cooking these directly in the basket so the air can surround them. That said, I know I and others often prefer to use a liner for ease of clean up. If you do too, cook the carrots on a mesh trivet standing in the liner.
- Do not over crowd the basket. You do not want more than a single layer of carrots, allowing some space in between them.
- These air fryer roasted carrots are pretty speedy, but you can speed the process up by putting them in a bowl and covering them with boiling water to parboil in the microwave for 4 minutes before you drain and steam dry them. Then coat them in oil as at step 2 above and proceed as normal, reducing the air fryer time to 8–10 minutes.
