Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 medium Carrots Cut into sticks, approximately the thickness of a finger.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil Lightly coats the carrots for browning.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Enhances natural sweetness.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Pepper Freshly cracked or pre-ground.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder Gives a mild garlicky flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Paprika Adds smoky-sweet notes and color.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel and cut carrots into sticks.
  3. In a bowl, toss the carrot sticks with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
Cooking
  1. Place the carrot sticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  2. Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they are crispy and golden.
Serving

Notes

If the carrot sticks are not crispy, ensure they are not overcrowded in the air fryer. Let leftovers cool and store in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Reheat in the air fryer for the best texture.
