olive oil spray
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Place the carrots in the air fryer basket of the preheat air fryer in a single layer. Cook for 14 minutes stopping halfway through to shake the basket and spritz the carrots again with olive oil spray (no need to toss them again).
Test for desired doneness at 14 minutes. Either serve hot or for softer carrots cook an additional few mintues.

Exact cooking time is likely to vary slightly for each machine. This recipe was developed and tested in a Cosori 5.8 quart XL Air Fryer which is a 1700 watt machine (higher wattage).
