Air fryer carrots are easy to make and perfect to accompany any main dish. To prepare the carrots cooked in the air fryer you do not need to boil them first, just add a splash of water to the tray so they will be soft and tasty at the same time and also they won’t be dry. You can use both classic carrots and purple carrots and if you are lucky enough to use carrots from your garden or your greengrocer sells them with their tops, I recommend trying the carrot leaf pesto. The cooking time of carrots in the air fryer may vary depending on the type of air fryer you use (I use this air fryer HERE).

How to prepare Air Fryer Carrots
Let’s start preparing the air fryer carrots, clean the carrots by scraping the outer part or you can do it like I do with the potato peeler which is very convenient and fast, remove the ends and wash them well under running water.
Cut the carrots in half lengthwise and then cut each half in half again, then cut into pieces, so you have small pieces and the cooking will be faster and more uniform.
Pour the carrots into a tray suitable for cooking in the air fryer, add a sprig of rosemary, some water and spray the oil with the sprayer.
Place the tray in the basket of the air fryer and cook at 375°F for 10 minutes, then remove the basket, add a pinch of salt and mix the carrots, continue cooking for another 10 minutes.
When the air fryer carrots are ready, open the basket and remove the tray, mix the carrots, adjust the salt and serve the air fryer carrots hot.
