Ingredients
  

4 large carrots, peeled and cut into thin strips

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Carrots: Start by peeling the carrots and slicing them into thin strips, resembling fry shapes. Aim for a uniform size to ensure even cooking.

    Marinate in Oil: In a mixing bowl, combine the carrot strips with olive oil. Toss until well coated.

      Add Seasonings: Sprinkle minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper over the carrots. Mix thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated.

        Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes while you prepare the fries.

          Air Fry the Carrots: Arrange the seasoned carrot strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket. It's important not to overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary.

            Cooking Time: Air fry the carrot fries for 12-15 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispiness. The fries are done when they are golden brown and crispy.

              Serve: Remove the carrot fries from the air fryer and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm as a delectable side dish or snack.
