I love roasting carrots to bring out their sweetness. I think thyme really complements the flavor of these air-fryer carrots, but feel free to mix it up and use other herbs, like rosemary or tarragon. —Marlene Schott, Devine, Texas

Air-Fryer Carrots Tips

Can you use regular carrots instead of baby carrots?

If you only have regular carrots on hand, simply peel and cut them into 2-inch sections. They may take a few minutes longer in the air fryer, so use a fork to check for tenderness.

What can you serve with air-fryer carrots?

These air-fryer carrots are the perfect side to throw in while your oven or stovetop is otherwise occupied. Try pairing them with roasted chicken or a pot roast.

How do you store air-fryer carrots?

Keep these carrots in a well-sealed container in the refrigerator, where they’ll last for 3 to 4 days. Reheat them in the air fryer until heated through. If you loved this recipe, try more of our easy carrot recipes.
