Start by choosing beautiful carrots: local, organic if possible, and firm. Rinse them thoroughly and peel them only if the skin is thick. Otherwise, a good scrubbing will do! Cut them into sticks or thick slices for even cooking.

• For quick cooking: cut into thin sticks (7-8 mm).
• For a more melt-in-your-mouth texture: thick slices (1 cm).

Tip 🥄: Wipe your carrots well before seasoning them, so that the oil and spices adhere better!

In winter, carrots love warm flavors! Water them with:

• A drizzle of olive or rapeseed oil
• Salt, freshly ground pepper
• Herbs: thyme, rosemary, flat-leaf parsley
• Spices: cumin, smoked paprika, ground coriander
• Sweet option: a touch of honey or maple syrup 🍯 to caramelize

Add a handful of pumpkin or sesame seeds for crunch! 🌰

1. Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (2 min).
2. Mix your carrots with the seasoning in a large bowl.
3. Arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
4. Start cooking for approximately 15 minutes, shaking halfway through cooking for even browning.
5. Taste them: they should be golden brown on the outside and soft on the inside. Serve immediately, they're ready!
