Sharing a video of her carrot recipe , she wrote: "Air Fryer Carrot Fries // I love this idea for fries because I always have carrots in my fridge that need to be put to use.
"Sweet and savory, these are similar to sweet potato fries but hold their own. Also works with baby carrots. Change up the seasonings to your liking and let me know what combos come out delicious! [carrot emoji].
" In the video she added that while she's unsure if french fries count as a vegetable, she is certain that carrots are, and make a healthier option. Air fryer carrot chips 4-5 large carrots, peeled & cut into sticks One tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1/2 tsp garlic powder One tsp paprika 1/2 tsp salt Dried parsley for garnish (optional) Mix the carrots, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, and salt together in a bowl, stirring until they are combined. Then, place the carrots in the air fryer in a single layer and cook at 380F for 13 minutes, tossing them halfway through.
Serve the carrot chips alongside your choice of dipping sauce. A post shared by Alina | Clean Eats for Kids (@hopefulfoodfinds) Alina's followers were quick to comment, with one writing: "It looks delicious, I love carrots I will definitely try these." While another penned:.
