Air Fryer Carrot Fries

Carrot fries are one of those simple recipes that turn an everyday vegetable into something you actually crave. They are crisp on the outside, soft in the middle, and full of smoky spice. Perfect as a side for burgers, wraps, or a quick snack on their own.

Made with the help of Haden 6.5L Cream Air Fryer 

INGREDIENTS
500 grams of carrots
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons oil
2 teaspoons paprika powder

1 teaspoon black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS
