Ingredients
Scale
- ½ pound carrots
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅔ cup shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
-
To a large bowl, add olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Stir to combine.
-
Peel or scrub the carrots if needed. Cut each carrot into 3-4 pieces (about 1.5-2 inches in length). Then take those pieces and either quarter, half, or for really thin pieces leave whole. You want your carrot pieces to be about the same thickness.
- Place the carrot pieces in the bowl and toss to combine in the oil and seasonings.
-
Add air fryer parchment paper to the air fryer basket, then add the carrots in a single layer. Air fry at 380 degrees F for 10 minutes, or until carrots are tender.
-
Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the top and air fry for an additional 5-7 minutes.
Notes
- All air fryers cook differently. Watch closely to make sure carrots and parmesan are done to your liking.
- Cooking times may vary based on the size and thickness of your carrots. I always make sure most of my carrots are tender before adding the parmesan cheese.
