Tips and Techniques
- Make sure that you cut the carrots into equal size pieces. This helps to ensure overall even cooking.
- If using baby carrots, you may need to increase the cook time a few minutes. Carrots are done cooking when they are fork tender.
- You can use a different oil or omit the oil. If you omit the oil, the air fried carrots may be a bit drier.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Consume within 4-5 days.
