Ingredients
- 1 lb. baby potatoes if using larger potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 medium carrots peeled and sliced diagonally
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Ensure that your air fryer is fully preheated before adding the vegetables. Preheat it to 400°F (200°C), which is ideal for properly roasting root vegetables without burning.
Toss Vegetables with Oil and Seasonings:
- In a large bowl, combine the baby potatoes, sliced carrots, olive oil, and all the seasonings.1 lb. baby potatoes, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 3 medium carrots
- Toss the vegetables until they are evenly coated with the oil and spices. This step ensures that the oil and spices are distributed evenly, preventing unevenly cooked vegetables.½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Arrange in a Single Layer:
- Add the coated potatoes and carrots to the preheated air fryer basket, being careful not to overcrowd them. Arranging them in a single layer allows for maximum exposure to the hot air, ensuring fast and even cooking.
Cook the Vegetables:
- Air fry the vegetables for 15-20 minutes initially, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time. The exact cooking time may vary based on the size of the vegetable pieces and your specific air fryer model.
- After 10 minutes of cooking, pause to shake the basket containing the vegetables. This helps redistribute them for even browning of the potatoes and carrots.
Check Doneness and Continue Cooking:
- After shaking, continue cooking for another 5-10 minutes or until the vegetables are fork-tender and the edges are crispy and browned. If you prefer extra crispy vegetables, you can cook them for an additional minute or two.
Season and Serve:
- Once the vegetables are done cooking in the air fryer, they will be hot and perfectly cooked. Season them to taste with salt and pepper before serving, or garnish them with fresh chopped parsley.1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Enjoy!
