Crispy Air Fryer Parsnip and Carrot Fries
These crispy air fryer parsnip and carrot fries are a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional potato fries. They're made with just a few simple ingredients and are ready in under 20 minutes.
Parsnips and carrots are two of the most underrated vegetables out there. They're both packed with nutrients, and they have a naturally sweet flavor that makes them perfect for roasting, frying, or even eating raw. In this recipe, we're going to show you how to make crispy air fryer parsnip and carrot fries that are so good, you'll never want to eat potato fries again. The key to making crispy air fryer parsnip and carrot fries is to cut the vegetables into thin, even pieces. This will help them cook evenly and get nice and crispy. We also recommend tossing the vegetables in a little bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper before cooking. This will help them to brown and develop a delicious flavor. Once the vegetables are prepped, simply cook them in your air fryer at 400 degrees F for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and crispy. Be sure to shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure that the vegetables cook evenly.
