Ingredients for Air fryer garlic and parmesan carrot fries
How to make Air fryer garlic and parmesan carrot fries
Cut the carrots into thin strips. From the top of the carrot you should be able to cut into 3, and the bottom into 2 strips for uniform fry shapes.
In a bowl, coat the carrot strips evenly with the olive oil, salt, minced garlic, and parmesan cheese.
Place the coated carrots in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry at 180°C for 16-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through until they are tender and the cheese is crispy and golden.
Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately with some extra grated parmesan and a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top.
Storage and Freezing
Best eaten fresh. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the air fryer to restore some crispness, but they will soften over time. Do not freeze.
