  • Air fry baby carrots for 10-12 minutes. First, arrange the baby carrots in a single layer. Cook them until they become tender and slightly golden, shaking the basket halfway through. To test for doneness, use a fork and check if it goes through the carrots without resistance. Once achieved, remove the carrots from the air fryer. For a more roasted and charred finish, continue cooking for an additional 2-4 minutes.

Notes

  • For smaller air fryers (4-quart and below), reduce the cooking temperature to 380°F (193°C). They generate more heat because of the heating element's proximity to the food.
  • If your air fryer doesn't have a preheating option, you can set the temperature to 400°F (204°C) and then let it cook for 4-5 minutes without food.
  • I used a 6-quart Instant Pot Vortex Plus to test the air fryer baby carrots recipe. Cooking time and temperature may vary depending on your air fryer and the number of servings you are making. For optimal results, begin with the lower end of the suggested cooking time.
