How to Roast Carrots in the Oven

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Transfer the seasoned carrot sticks to a baking sheet. You can add oil and seasonings to the sheet tray itself.
    Spread them evenly in a single layer and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the carrots are browning around the edges (time may vary based on the size of your fries). You may have to turn them once halfway through for even roasting.

Notes

Expert Tips & Notes

  • Dice them into the same size: This helps for quick and even cooking.
  • Cook in batches. Make sure to spread the carrot fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding, so that the veggies don't steam. Cook in batches if needed.
  • Shake the basket halfway: It's important to shake the basket halfway through to allow the carrots to be cooked evenly.
  • Serve them right away: These crispy roasted carrot get soggy as they sit and cool.
  • The exact cooking time will vary based on the air fryer being used.
