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.

Preparation
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
