Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium size whole carrots
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese – optional for serving
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley – optional for serving
Instructions
- Peel and cut the carrots. This is very easy to do. Use a vegetable peeler to peel the carrots, then slice off the ends. If the carrots are longer then slice them in half and then cut them into 1/4-inch thick carrot sticks. Expert tip: Thinner-cut fries will get crispier and take less time to cook.
- Season the fries. In a small bowl combine the garlic powder with the salt and pepper. Drizzle the fries with avocado oil, toss, and then season them with salt, pepper, and garlic powder and toss to coat them all in the seasoning.
- Cook. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F. Once it is ready, spray the basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking. Place the carrot fries into the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook them for 8-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time.
- Garnish and serve. Once the carrot fries are done, let them cool for a minute then plate them and garnish them with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and parsley.
Notes
- Since carrots are the main ingredient in this recipe, make sure to select carrots that are nice and bright orange for the best flavor.
- Cut the carrots into 1/4 inch or thinner carrot sticks for crispier fries. Note that the thinner you cut them, the less time they will need to cook.
- You can cut the calories down even more by using cooking spray instead of the avocado oil in this recipe. They will still get crispy and delicious. Avocado oil spray works great as well. Just make sure to use non-aerosol.
- Storing these fries. This recipe is really best if eaten right away since the fries can get soggy if left out for too long. You can store them after cooking them. Let them cool completely, place them into an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350 degrees F for 2-3 minutes.
