Crispy Air Fryer Carrot Fries

Air fryer carrot fries are a quick, easy, and healthy snack or side dish. They're made with just a few ingredients and cooked in the air fryer until golden brown and crispy.

In the annals of culinary history, the carrot fry has long been relegated to the realm of the forgotten. Overshadowed by its more popular brethren, the potato fry and the onion ring, the carrot fry has languished in obscurity, its potential for greatness unrealized.

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Why It Works

• **The air fryer circulates hot air around the carrots, cooking them evenly and quickly.** This results in a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
• **The olive oil helps to coat the carrots and prevent them from sticking to the air fryer basket.**
• **The oregano, salt, and pepper add flavor to the carrots.**
• **Shaking the basket halfway through cooking helps to ensure that the carrots cook evenly.**
