    What You’ll Need To Make Air Fryer Potatoes And Carrots

    Ingredients for air fryer carrots and potatoes.
    • Potatoes: I like to use baby Dutch yellow potatoes for this recipe, but you can really use any type of potato that you like. Just make sure that they are diced into bite-sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
    • Carrots: I prefer to use regular carrots for this recipe, but you can also use baby carrots. Again, just make sure that they are diced into bite-sized pieces. I recommend trying to cut your potatoes and carrots into similar-sized pieces so that you can throw them all into the air fryer at the same time and they cook evenly.
    • Oil (not pictured): I use avocado oil in this recipe, but you can really use any type of oil that you like. Just make sure that it has a high smoke point so that it doesn't burn in the air fryer.
    • Brown sugar: This is optional, but I like to add a little bit of brown sugar to my air fryer potatoes and carrots. It gives them a slightly sweet flavor that is delicious.
    • Spices: I use a combination of garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to season my air fryer potatoes and carrots. But you can really use any spices that you like.

    Step-By-Step Instructions

    To make this recipe, simply follow the easy steps below:

    Step 1: Wash the potatoes and peel the carrots.

    Step 2: Dice the potatoes and carrots into bite-sized pieces.

    • Make sure to wash the potatoes and carrots before cutting them. This will help to remove any dirt or debris that may be on them.

    • You could also use honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar in place of the brown sugar.
    • If you don't have any avocado oil, you can substitute it with olive oil, vegetable oil, or another type of oil that has a high smoke point.
    • If you don't want to use garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, you can substitute these with your favorite spice blend.
