Ingredients
  

1 lb (about 4 medium) carrots, peeled and cut into fry shapes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Carrots: Start by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). While it’s heating, wash, peel, and cut the carrots into fry shapes, aiming for uniform thickness for even cooking.

    Season the Carrots: In a large bowl, combine the cut carrot fries, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure every fry is evenly coated in the seasoning mixture.

      Air Fry the Carrots: Place the seasoned carrot fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You might need to do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. Air fry for about 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.

        Add the Parmesan: Once the carrot fries are tender and crispy, carefully remove the basket and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the fries. Air fry for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.

          Serve: Remove the carrot fries from the air fryer and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately as a healthy snack or side dish.
