How to Make these Air Fryer Carrot Fries:
These fries are very simple! Toss carrot strips (julienned) in a mixing bowl with the oil, garlic, and fresh rosemary—salt and pepper to taste. Set the Air Fryer or Instant Pot attachment to air fry mode (400 degrees Fahrenheit) and cook for 12 minutes, or until crispy. Add 2 minutes at a time for more cooking until it reaches your desired level of crispness. When ready plate the fries and top with shredded parmesan cheese and additional rosemary (optional). Salt and pepper to taste.
Pair these tasty fries with your favorite dipping sauce, such as aioli with fresh dill, ketchup, and ranch!
Variations:
These fries are naturally gluten-free!
Want to make them vegan? Substitute dairy-free cheese for the parmesan cheese. I like the Treeline Cheese brand!
Don't have carrots? Use parsnips, sweet potatoes, or other delicious root vegetables!
Rosemary can be substituted with other delicious herbs such as dill, parsley, and thyme.
