Main Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Method
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F. Peel 1 pound carrots and cut into 1- to 2-inch pieces, splitting thicker sections lengthwise; pat dry.
Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until evenly coated.
Arrange in an even layer and cook at 380°F for 10–12 minutes, shaking or turning partway through. Use separate batches if the basket is crowded.
Pierce a thick piece with a fork and continue cooking if its center is firm. Serve when tender with lightly browned edges, divided into four side portions.
- Refrigerate promptly and use within 3 days.
- Reheat in the air fryer or microwave until the leftovers reach 165°F.
