Fresh Veggies, Spring, Easter..

Carrots, fresh sweet peas, fresh french beans  – signs of spring around the world and the best veggies to serve for an Easter brunch, wouldn’t you say ? 

These garlic and mint laced carrots are ridiculously easy, tasty and make for a vegan side for any lunch. Easter somehow reminds me of bunnies and that somehow inexplicably linked to carrots ???? and we were happy to discover a new way to eat our favourite family veggie 🙂 

Can I make these Air fryer carrots in an oven / stove top too?

These can be made on the stove top too but since we love a slight caramelisation to our carrots (& hands free too, yay ????), the air fryer method won hands down. Of course , you could also make it in an oven. Details in the recipe below

What are the variations to these Air fryer Carrots

The variations to these air-fryer carrots are endless – the classic honey-sesame glaze, Mayo, sticky sauce, kimchi sauce, XO sauce etc etc. but we wanted to keep it simple to have it as a side (the second time I made these as a meal for myself). Do let me know how you (would) make these delicious carrots !

Of course if one prefers one could use butter or skip the garlic. But this is something we loved as a vegan + gluten free side dish without any fancy trimmings!

How to make these Air Fryer carrots 

  • With a sharp Knife, scrape the carrots. I used good quality carrots so didn’t peel them . You can peel them if needed. 
  • With a crinkle knife or a sharp knife, cut them diagonally into 1/2 inch batons as shown
  • In a bowl, add the carrots, half the oil and all the ingredients for the marinade. 
  • Mix well with clean hands or a slotted spoon till the marination is coated well
  • Keep aside, covered for 15 mins. 
  • In a pre-heated oven / air fryer , line a baking sheet, add the marinated carrots and toss once.
  • If using whole garlic cloves, add them in the marination itself. 
  • Bake at 180 C for 15-18 mins, stirring in between and glazing it with the rest of the olive oil midway.  
  • Bake till the carrots are slightly soft and caramelised around the edges, bake time depends on quantity and thickness of the batons. 
  • Serve as side topped with fresh mint or indulge as a meal.

    The crinkle cut and mint flavour for these carrots are brilliant. Though I don’t have an airfryer, the recipe cameout brilliant in the oven.

    I’m not a huge fan of carrots on their own as a side dish but your mint and full of spices air fried carrots are tempting to give it a try.
