Ingredients
SCALE
- 1 pound bag baby carrots
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Open the bag of baby carrots and place them in a colander to drain any water from the bag. Then, use a clean towel to pat them dry.
- Place the carrots in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the olive oil, dried garlic, sea salt, and black pepper, and stir to combine.
- Pour the carrots into the basket of your air fryer. Set the temperature to 400°F for 20 minutes, stopping once to shake the basket during the cooking process.
- When the carrots are done cooking, they should be fork tender. Transfer the carrots to a serving bowl and serve warm.
Notes
- You can double this recipe depending on how large your air fryer basket is. The carrots can overlap each other while cooking; just be sure to shake the basket a few times during the cooking process to make sure they cook evenly.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat before serving.
- Some air fryers need to be preheated. Read your instruction manual to see if you need to preheat your model.
- If you want to add more sweetness to your carrots, feel free to drizzle 1-2 teaspoons of maple syrup, brown sugar, or honey on them and toss before serving.
