Air Fryer Carrots and Potatoes

This recipe for air fryer carrots and potatoes works well in either the Instant Omni or the Instant Vortex Plus. It can be made in any air fryer and can be made solely as air fryer carrots or air fryer potatoes if desired.   

This is one of my go to recipes for a simple side to serve with things like Instant Pot Mississippi Pot Roast. See also my recipe for Air Fryer Vegetables in the Instant Vortex Plus. 

Another great air fryer vegetable recipe is this one for air fryer squash. The air fryer gives just a hint of crispiness to the summer squash.  You can also try one of these roasted fall vegetable recipes, Some are specifically for the air fryer, and ones that are not can generally be roasted in an air fryer the same as the oven. 

 

Air Fryer Carrots and Potatoes 

Making Instant Vortex carrots and potatoes or  Instant Omni carrots and potatoes is very simple. I like to season mine with simple salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder, and a shake of Italian seasoning.

Simply toss some baby or fingerling potatoes and some thick cut carrots or baby carrots in a bit of oil with your seasonings. I like to use olive oil or avocado oil.

Fun fact, did you know that baby carrots are basically just shaved down rejected normal carrots? I still love them anyway.  

Next, place the veggies on a sprayed tray or in a basket and air fry or roast at 360 for about 10 minutes or until the vegetables reach your desired level of browning.

I like mine to be pretty soft and browned, so I go a full ten minutes or so. Toss them around half way through and cook a bit less if you like firmer carrots and potatoes.    

Instant Vortex Plus Carrots and Potatoes or Instant Omni Carrots  and Potatoes

These are made pretty much the same regardless of your air fryer. If using the Omni for potatoes or carrots, which I did for the photos for this post, I put them  in the wire tray basket.

I have also made carrots a potatoes in the Instant Vortex Plus both on the trays and using the rotisserie basket.  The rotating basket works really well for them!
