Air Fryer Carrot Fries
Step aside potatoes. There’s a new fry in town. Carrots may seem like an unlikely choice for fries, but once you try them, we have a feeling you’ll understand why we’re so obsessed. We used cornstarch to help with that crispy texture, and then threw them in the air fryer to get them perfectly cooked. Serve them up with your burger bowls as a delicious side or even our homemade garlic hummus for a great game day snack. These air fryer carrot fries are so easy, so healthy, and so tasty – everything you could ask for from a fry.

So why enjoy a carrot fry instead of a more traditional option like a white potato or even sweet potato fry? Well, they’re full of vitamins, including Vitamin A which is essential for vision. In fact, just one large carrot (about 1 cup) offers 100% of the daily target for vitamin A. They’re also lower in calories and carbs, and pack a punch of fiber. It’s a great ingredient to have as part of your healthy lifestyle! Enjoying them as fries is fun, flavorful, and satisfies that craving for a crispy, salty side.
Air Fryer Carrot Fries Recipe Tips:
+ If you don’t have an air fryer, you can easily make this recipe in the oven. Follow these simple steps for converting air fryer recipes for the oven. I love using a crisping basket on a baking sheet if you’re going to make them in the oven.
+ You could easily add any other seasonings you like. Taco seasoning, rosemary, parsley and parmesan are a few of our other favorite toppings.
+ Arrowroot powder or tapioca flour could also be substituted to coat the fries and keep the crispy texture.
