These crispy air fryer carrot fries are about to become your new obsession! Ready in just 15 minutes, they’re a fun healthy side dish alternative to French fries.

Ingredients

Scale

For the carrot fries

  • 1 1/2 pounds carrots, medium to large
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Finely chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

For the Cool Ranch Aioli (optional): 

  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt 
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 sprinkle dried dill
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons pickle brine or lemon juice
  • 1 pinch kosher salt 
  • Fresh ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Peel the carrots. Cut the carrots into thin fries: slice off the ends, then square off each of the sides to make a rectangular box shape. Cut into 3/8-inch wide slices, then cut the slices into strips. 
  2. Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes to 390°F. 
  3. Place the fries in a large bowl. Mix the garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, dried parsley, salt, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Drizzle the carrots with the olive oil, then add the spices and cornstarch. Mix thoroughly to combine.
  4. Cook for 5 minutes, then shake and cook 5 to 7 minutes more, until crispy. 
  5. Meanwhile if desired, stir together the ingredients for the Cool Ranch Aioli. When the fries are done, serve immediately with the aioli. (Fries are best right out of the oven; they become softer as they sit.)

Notes

If you prefer, you can omit the ranch seasoning in the carrot fries and simply use garlic powder. 

Carrot fries are best eaten immediately—the crispiness starts to fade after about 10 minutes. But if you happen to have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For reheating, pop them back in the air fryer at 350°F for a few minutes. They won’t be as crispy as fresh, but they’ll still be delicious.
