Get all the goodness of roasted carrots without turning on the oven! These Air Fryer Carrots are tender, caramelized and they cook up in about 15 minutes. They're an easy side dish that the entire family will love!
Place the carrots in the air fryer basket in a single layer. If your carrots are larger, you may need to do this in 2 batches.
Cook at 390 degrees for 13-15 minutes or until they reach the desired level of doneness, tossing every 4-5 minutes or so. Serve garnished with fresh thyme leaves or parsley if desired and enjoy!

Notes
Pro tip:If your carrots are on the larger side, be sure to halve them and consider cooking them at a lower temperature of 360-375 degrees for 18-20 minutes in order to keep them from becoming overly brown before they're done cooking.
Use your favorite variety of carrots! Rainbow carrots would be wonderful as well. Baby carrots may also be used but the cooking time will be much faster.
Change up these air fryer roasted carrots with your favorite herbs and seasonings.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
If you have carrot tops, be sure to save them for carrot top pesto. The pesto would be wonderful drizzled over your cooked carrots!
