Tips, Tricks and Variations
You can make sweet or savory carrots. To make sweet carrots you can add some brown sugar to them while they are cooking.
To make savory carrots, you can add some smoke paprika or Italian seasoning to the carrots before cooking.
Shaking your carrots once about halfway through cooking will help them to bake evenly.
Most air fryers have a function that allows you to pull the basket out at your leisure to flip or stir the foods. I would suggest you do this 1-2 times during the cooking.
