Carrots are one of those vegetables that we have probably had every single way imaginable. But this time, let’s change it up and try something new—air fryer carrot chips!
What separates these from the rest of the carrot recipes is that we use a crinkle slicer to give the carrots a fun, wavy texture. The air fryer then crisps them up to perfection!
Let’s get cooking!
Ingredients
- 2 large carrots
- Avocado oil (or other cooking oil)
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- salt and pepper, to taste
Tools
- air fryer
- crinkle slicer knife
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 360°F.
Peel the carrots and use a sharp knife or a curly knife slicer to slice them into thin, even slices.
The thinner they are, the crispier they will be.
Place the slices in a bowl.
Drizzle a tablespoon of avocado oil over the carrot slices, then sprinkle evenly with dried parsley, salt, and pepper.
Use clean hands to mix everything together until all the carrots are well coated with oil and seasoning.
Place the seasoned carrots in an even layer on your air fryer’s basket or tray, making sure not to overcrowd it as this will prevent them from getting crispy.
Cook for 12 minutes or until golden brown and crisp, flipping halfway through cooking time if necessary.
Once finished cooking, let cool slightly before serving or storing away for later enjoyment!
Recipe Tips
You can switch up the flavors by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, chili powder, onion powder or cumin instead of parsley for extra flavor!
For even more crunchy goodness, try doubling down on flavors by seasoning the carrot slices with both dry herbs and wet ingredients like honey or a light glaze of BBQ sauce before air frying them!
