Notes
- For best results, air fried baby carrots should be fork tender and have a caramelized flavor.
- Overcooked baby carrots become mushy, soggy, and unappealing, so be sure to keep an eye on them.
- Preheating the air fryer aids in caramelization which adds lots of wonderful flavor to these air fried baby carrots.
- Baby carrots vary in size. As a result some carrots might be more al dente than others even from the same bag. Be sure to cook until the carrots are tender to your liking.
- The baby carrots we use in this recipe are a pretty good size, but sometimes baby carrots will be much smaller. Be sure to refer to the photos or our video for a reference. If your baby carrots are thinner, you’ll want to check them halfway through air frying and adjust the cook time as needed.
- Cook time may vary depending on your specific air fryer. As always, use the cook time and temperature as a guide until you are more comfortable with your specific brand of air fryer.
- If cooking in multiple batches, be sure to check on the remaining batches early, as they may cook more quickly.
