Instructions
- Wash and peel the carrots and trim the ends. Cut them into even-sized pieces so they cook at the same rate.1 lb (450g) carrots

- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Add the carrots to the air fryer basket in a single layer (you may need to cook in batches)
- Air fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Check the carrots are cooked to your desired doneness – cook for a little longer if needed.

Notes
- Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (180°C) for 2–3 minutes, adjusting the cooking time depending on your crisp-tender preference. You can also reheat them in your microwave, but they will lose some of their crunch.
- You can freeze roasted carrots, but I would not recommend it – they can become a little mushy when thawed and reheated. You could add to stews or blend to add in soups.
