Tips for perfect Air fryer Carrot fries

Let's see some simple tips to follow to make perfectly air-fried carrots.

• Arrange the carrots in air fryer without touching each other to make sure carrots are air fried and not steamed.
• Do not cut carrots into too thin sticks. Carrots shrivel up as they get air fried, so always cut them into slightly wider sticks than you think you need.
• Final air frying time always depends on the thickness of your carrot fries and your air fryer as every air fryer is different. So always make sure to check them at 7 min mark to shake the basket and again at 12 min mark to see if they are done or need more time.
• Serving them with a dip takes these carrot fries to the next level and makes them more interesting to kids too. Check out the dip ideas given below.
• Serve these air fryer carrots immediately while the crispiness lasts. These carrot fries loose their crispiness as they cool. You can always reheat them again but they taste best when they are served right away.
