Notes

  • Be careful not to add too much oil, or the carrot fries will not get crispy.
  • Do not cut your carrot fries less than 1/4-inch thick because they will burn easily.
  • If you cut your carrot fries thicker, they will take more time to cook. Add a minute at a time, and check the fries as they are cooking.
  • To make more than 1 pound of carrot fries, you will likely need to cook them in batches. You want the carrot fries to have enough space around them to crisp up while cooking
  • It's important to shake the air fryer basket to move the carrot sticks around at least once during the cooking time. 
  • Pro Tip: This recipe can be made in the air fryer unit with a basket or the air fryer oven. If you are using the air fryer oven, use the middle rack and select the "Air Fry" function.
  • Pro Tip: Check your food as it cooks. Each air fryer runs a bit differently. Sometimes air frying is a trial and error process. Check your food as it cooks to learn your air fryer better!  When cooking a new recipe or food items be sure to check your food often to help avoid over/under cooking.
