Equipment
- 1 air fryer
- 1 cutting board

- 4 large carrots Approximately 400g.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

- Begin by peeling the carrots using a vegetable peeler. Cut the carrots into thin fries, aiming for uniformity to ensure even cooking.

- Place the seasoned carrot fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd them.
- Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even crisping. Keep an eye on them, as air fryer cooking times may vary slightly based on the model.
- Once the fries are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
