Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced on a diagonal
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Method
 

  1. Toss together: Place the sliced carrots in a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, dried thyme, kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  2. Preheat and load: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (if required by the model). Transfer the carrots to the basket, spreading them out in a single layer. If your air fryer is smaller, work in batches.
  3. Cook: Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. You're aiming for golden-brown edges and fork-tender centers.
  4. Serve: Remove the carrots from the basket and transfer to a serving plate. Taste, adjust seasoning if needed, and enjoy!

Notes

Pro tip: Pre-cut carrots save even more time if you're in a rush. Just make sure they're evenly sliced for consistent cooking.
