Description

This Air Fryer Carrots recipe offers a quick and flavorful way to prepare tender, perfectly seasoned carrots with a delightful herb and garlic aroma. Perfect as a healthy side dish, these carrots combine the richness of butter and olive oil with the fresh and dried dill seasoning, all cooked to perfection in an air fryer for a crispy exterior and soft interior.

Ingredients

Carrots

  • 1 lb. whole carrots

Seasoning Mix

  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried dill

Garnish (optional)

  • 1 tsp fresh dill

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Carrots: Wash, peel, and cut the carrots diagonally into 1-inch pieces. Place the cut carrots into a large bowl to get ready for seasoning.
  2. Make the Seasoning Mixture: In a small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. Add olive oil, salt, freshly cracked black pepper, garlic powder, and dried dill. Stir thoroughly to combine all the flavors into a smooth mixture.
  3. Coat the Carrots: Pour the butter and spice mixture over the carrots. Toss or stir them well to make sure every piece is evenly coated with the seasoning blend for maximum flavor.
  4. Air Fry the Carrots: Transfer the seasoned carrots to the air fryer basket. Cook at 370°F (188°C) for 12-14 minutes until the carrots are tender. Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping and prevent sticking.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, optionally sprinkle fresh chopped dill over the carrots as a bright and fresh garnish before serving.

Notes

  • Cutting carrots diagonally increases surface area for better caramelization and faster cooking.
  • Shaking the air fryer basket midway helps cook the carrots evenly and achieves a crisp texture.
  • Using both butter and olive oil enhances flavor and promotes browning.
  • Fresh dill garnish adds a refreshing herbaceous note but is optional.
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, oven roasting at 400°F for 20-25 minutes is a good alternative.
