Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Carrots ($1.05 / £0.12p)
  • ½ tablespoon Olive Oil ($0.08 / £0.04p)
  • teaspoon Sea Salt ($0.01 / £0.01p)
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Cumin, optional ($0.03 / £0.01p)

Instructions
 

  • If you need to preheat your air fryer, preheat to 190°C / 374˚F.
  • Wash and peel the carrots and cut into equal size sticks, approx 2cm (.78") thick and 4-5cm (1.57 - 1.96") lengths.
  • Place them in a bowl and mix with the oil to coat the carrots evenly.
  • Place the carrots in the Air Fryer basket in a single layer.
  • Cook at 190°C / 374˚F for 10-15 minutes, until tender, shaking halfway through.
  • The carrots are ready when tender and they have a little colour on the edges.
  • Meanwhile, mix the ground cumin and salt together.
  • Remove basket from Air Fryer, place the carrots into a heat proof bowl, sprinkle over the cumin salt and stir to combine.

Notes

Estimated costs: Australia $1.17. Per serve = $0.59.
UK £0.18. Per serve = £0.09p
America - I am yet to calculate the estimated ingredients costs to make this recipe in the US. If you would find it useful please contact me and I'll get calculating :) 
Carrots - I use the budget friendly bags of carrots from the supermarket, but you can use baby carrots and cut them in to halves or quarters depending on their size.
Oil - olive oil.
Salt - kosher or sea salt.
Ground cumin - this is optional. You can just season your roasted carrots with salt or for other seasonings please see suggestions below.
This recipe can easily be doubled: If doubling or scaling up this recipe, cook the carrots in batches. If you overcrowd the air fryer basket the carrots will take much longer to cook.
Cut the carrot sticks the same size and thickness so they cook evenly
little oil helps prevent the carrots from drying out
Season at the end of the cooking
Air fried carrots become tender rather than crisp.
The carrot fries can burn easily, so keep an eye on them.
