Can I use an air fryer?

Yes! Preheat your air fryer to 400℉. Once hot, add carrots and cook for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket at the 5 minute mark and again at 8-10 minutes. Depending on the size of your basket you may need to do fry these in two batches.

Do I have to use cornstarch?

No but just note that your carrot fries won't be as crispy. The cornstarch adds necessary starch to help them crisp up. You could also use tapioca starch or arrowroot starch instead if desired.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes but please be certain to split your recipe between two baking sheets. Overcrowding your baking sheet will results in steamed carrots rather than crispy fries!

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
Chop your peeled carrots into 1/4-1/2 inch thick fries. Aim to have all carrots be around the same size so they cook evenly but don’t worry if they aren’t perfect.
Place carrots in a large bowl and top with olive oil, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper and toss to coat carrots well.
Spread out carrots on your parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove carrots from oven and carefully flip. Bake for another 10-15 minutes or until carrot fries are lightly browned and crispy. Watch to ensure they don’t burn!
Serve hot right from the oven or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
