Air Fryer Carrots
When it's time to get dinner on the table and you're juggling a million things, it's so nice to have an easy go-to side dish recipe in your back pocket
These air fried carrots are tender and flavorful and will complement so many meals.
When I made them I used dried Italian seasoning but you can change that up and use your favorite dried seasoning, such as dried oregano, dried rosemary, dried thyme or Greek seasoning.
Want to add a little heat? A pinch of chili powder or cayenne will add a kick of spice.
Or drizzle with a bit of hot honey after cooking for added sweetness and a hint of heat!
I love the way the smaller ends of the carrots get crispy edges with lots of caramelized flavor.
And I love that this easy recipe is made with simple ingredients that you'll probably have on hand in your kitchen.
Actually, I love everything about these roasted air fryer carrots and I'm guessing you will too!
Once you air fry carrots you always want to cook them this way. It's such an easy way to make the perfect side dish.
