Ingredients

1 pound carrots peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces on the bias
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, add carrots, olive oil, and salt and pepper (I like at least 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper). Toss to combine. Transfer the carrots to the basket of an air fryer (work in batches if necessary).
Air fry at 400 degrees until the carrots are fork-tender with browned edges, about 10 to 15 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Notes

Carrots: If choosing extra-large carrots, slice in half lengthwise before cutting them into 2-inch pieces.
Yield: 1 pound carrots yields about 2 c., peeled and cubed, enough for 4 servings, 1/2 c. each.
Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
