Servings 1 serving
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 270 grams Carrots 3 medium size carrots used here
- ½ tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Smoked Paprika
- ½ tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Instructions
- Peel the Carrots, remove the ends and cut them into half. Each half is further sliced lengthwise into 2-3 slices (depending on the size of the carrots). Each slice is then cut into 4- 5 thin sticks (depending on the length of each slice).
- Pre-heat the Air Fryer for 5 mins at 200 Degree Celsius. After pre-heating spray oil in the air fryer basket to prevent the fries from sticking.
- Once the carrots are prepped, add them to a bowl. Add smoked paprika, salt, garlic powder and drizzle oil.
- Place the carrot sticks in a single line. Note - if you double the recipe, air fry in 2 batches.
- Air Fry at 180 Degree C (350 Degree F) for 18 to 20 mins. Shake the basket half way through to ensure they crisp evenly.
- Once done, serve them with a spicy dip, mayo or ketchup.
Notes
- Always pre-heat your air fryer and spray / brush oil to prevent food from sticking. I wouldn't recommend using parchment paper as it interferes with the heat and air circulation.
- Air Fryer snacks are best consumed piping hot. If the fries are cold, re-heat them for a couple of minutes in the air fryer and they would crisp up. You may also spray some oil while re-heating.
- To prevent soggy fries, slice and cut the fries in equal shape. Do not crowd or pile the carrots in the air fryer basket.
- I would not recommend "No Oil Carrot Fries" as they would simply taste dry, chewy and dehydrated.
- The fries can be cut and prepped a day earlier. Carrot sticks can be frozen and thawed, if prepping in bulk. Season just before air frying.
