Instructions

Air Fryer Method

Place the seasoned potatoes and carrots in the air fryer and set the temperature to 400°F for 25 minutes. It’s fine for them to be stacked on top of each other.
Stop halfway through the cooking cycle and use a spatula to redistribute them.
After the full cooking time, if they aren’t nice and crunchy, add more time 5-minutes at a time until they are golden brown and crispy.

Oven Roasting Method

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Dump the veggies with seasoning onto the lined baking sheet and arrange them in an even flat layer. Make sure they aren’t stacked on top of each other to allow for even cooking.
Bake for approximately 40-45 minutes without stirring.

Notes

Tips & Suggestions:

I have included step-by-step photos and directions above to ensure your first attempt will be successful.

Cooking Temperature- If baking in the oven and using parchment paper to prevent sticking, don’t turn the temperature any higher than 400°F because the paper will begin to burn.
Potatoes- Any type of potato can be used but my favorites are Russets, Yukon gold, and red potatoes.
Carrots- Keeping baby carrots on hand makes this recipe come together even quicker because you simply need to slice the carrots in half.
Slicing- I slice my veggie chunks about 1″ thick for roasting. They can be cut thicker if desired, but you’ll need to add a little extra cooking time or possibly steam them for 10 minutes before roasting to speed it up and make sure the potatoes stay nice and fluffy on the inside while being crispy on the outside.
