How to roast carrots in air fryer
- Using a vegetable peeler, peel the carrots, cut each lengthwise into fourths, and then into 3-inch lengths.
- In a bowl, combine cut carrots with oil, curry powder, cayenne pepper, and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Arrange in a single layer on a parchment lined air fryer basket and air fry at 350 F or oven mode (multi-fry) for about 15 to 25 minutes depending on desired doneness.
- Remove the carrots from the air fryer and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with crumbled Feta cheese and chopped fresh Parsley.
Helpful tips
- Cut the carrots in uniform length and thickness to ensure even cooking.
- Drain well after rinsing and pat dry with paper towels so they’ll roast nicely.
- Be careful with the kind of serving plate you choose as the curry powder tends to stain wood or similar surfaces.
- For an extra boost of flavor, add minced garlic.
How to serve

- To make ahead and serve as antipasti, air fry the carrots and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Top with the Feta cheese just before serving.
