Prepare the carrots
Wash, peel, and cut the carrots into sticks or rounds. Pat them dry to help them crisp up in the airfryer.
Season the carrots
In a bowl, toss the carrots with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well to coat evenly.
Cook in the airfryer
Preheat the airfryer to 200°C (400°F). Place the carrots in a single layer in the airfryer basket. Cook for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
Serve and enjoy
Remove the carrots from the airfryer and serve immediately. For extra flavor, sprinkle with fresh herbs or drizzle with honey.
For a sweeter version, add a drizzle of maple syrup or honey before cooking. If you prefer extra crunch, use baby carrots or slice them thinly. To make spicy carrots, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika.
