👩🍳 Instructions
1
Prep carrots by peeling (optional) and cutting into even 2–3 inch sticks or diagonal slices for even cooking.
2
Whisk together oil, maple syrup, vinegar, salt, pepper, and any spices in a large bowl. Add carrots and toss to coat.
3
Preheat air fryer to 390°F (200°C). Arrange carrots in a single layer in the basket, avoiding crowding.
4
Cook for 10–12 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping carrots halfway through until tender with browned edges. Thin pieces may be done in 8 minutes.
5
For extra caramelization, increase heat to 400°F for the last 1–2 minutes while watching closely.
6
Transfer to a serving bowl, toss with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving.
