Why Air-Fryer Carrot Fries?

I was inspired to make carrot fries because I wanted fries but I was out of potatoes (insert dramatic gasp here). What was a fry-loving girl to do?

So I was out of potatoes and decided to get creative. If you know me, you know that I always have a large bag of carrots in my fridge because I give them to my dog as a treat. Being the terrible dog mom I am, I decided to dip into my innocent puppies stash of carrots to make these fries.

And that my friends, is how this easy air fryer carrot fry recipe came to be. I’m not proud and sometimes we have to do what we have to do to honor our fry cravings (sorry Toby).

Why I love my Air Fryer

Aside from being able to make french fries from carrots, my air-fryer has opened my eyes to the world of convection cooking. I love air-fryers because they are:

I have this air fryer which isn’t like most air-fryers in that it has two fryer racks and a rotisserie option! My mother and my sister both have the traditional air fryers that have a basket you pull out. They too have nothing but great things to say about their fryers.

Air-Fryer Carrot Fries

  • Air fryer
  • 1 lb whole carrots
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil (or another high temp oil)
  • salt and pepper to taste

  1. Wash and peel your carrots and pat them dry

  2. Cut carrots in to "fries" (about 1/2 inch thick sticks), try to keep your fries as uniform as possible but don't stress too much over it

  3. Combine your carrot sticks with oil, and salt + pepper in a large bowl and mix until the carrot sticks are evenly coated

  4. Place coated carrot sticks in your air fryer basket in an even layer.

  5. Air "fry" your carrots for 7 minutes and then toss them using tongs

  6. Air "fry" for another 7 minutes (or until they are as crispy as you want them)

  7. Enjoy!
