The Carrot Rösti (or Röstis in the original language) are a vegan and tasty variation of the classic potato ones. They are crispy and flavorful and can be made in just a few minutes. They will win you over!
I love reinventing vegetables in a creative and tasty way, especially when I can combine simplicity, lightness, and beauty on the plate.
The carrot rösti are one of those recipes that come from the desire to bring something delicious yet healthy to the table, perfect for the whole family.
Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, these rösti are an excellent alternative to the classic fritters.
Carrots add sweetness and color, and with just a few ingredients, you can create a nutritious, light dish ready in minutes thanks to the air fryer. I often prepare them as an appetizer, finger food for a homemade aperitif, or as an original side dish for main courses.
As a Food Organizer, I always look for solutions that simplify cooking without sacrificing taste.
This recipe is perfect for those following a vegan diet or looking for new ways to get children to eat more vegetables.
Additionally, they can be prepared in advance and reheated as needed, ideal for those who organize meals smartly.

How to Make Carrot Rösti:
Peel and grate the carrots and onion with a grater or a chopper and place them in a bowl.
Add all the ingredients, mix well, and let rest for 10 minutes
Using a pastry ring, shape the rösti directly on the baking sheet or on the crisp plate of the microwave. Do not make them too thick or too thin, so they cook evenly and retain their nice round shape.
Bake in a preheated oven at 356°F for 15 minutes or in a microwave on grill function for 10 minutes.
Alternatively, you can cook them in an air fryer at 356°F for about 15 minutes, turning them halfway through.
They’re ready!
How to Serve Carrot Rösti
Great as a vegan second course, they are perfect served with a yogurt dressing or a Greek sauce.
Alternatively, they are a good side dish for meat or fish main courses!
Questions and Answers
Can I prepare the carrot rösti in advance and store them?
Yes, you can easily prepare them in advance. Once cooked and cooled, store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, I recommend reheating them in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes: they will become crispy and fragrant as if they were just made.
Is it possible to freeze carrot rösti?
Absolutely yes! You can freeze them already cooked, first arranging them on a tray to prevent sticking, then transferring them to a food bag. When needed, you can heat them directly in the air fryer, still frozen, for about 6-8 minutes. Great for a quick and well-organized meal!
