One of my favorite things to make in an air fryer is vegetables. I always find myself thinking of a healthy side dish as an afterthought when dinner is already in the oven.
That’s actually how these Roasted Air Fryer Carrots were created. And if you love these, you will absolutely love my air fryer carrot fries and air fryer baby carrots recipes!
I used to end up microwaving frozen vegetables then having to throw away fresh ones when they go bad.

That’s no longer a problem with an air fryer, especially with these air fried carrots. Roasting vegetables take half the time and taste just as delicious!
I chose these air fried carrots because they please the entire family. My 3-year-old eats them up and even asks for more.
They truly mimic the sweet taste of roasted carrots and they’re so simple to cook in any air fryer from a Nuwave to an Air Fryer Oven!
