Air Fryer Roasted Chantenay Carrots (Parboiled Recipe)

Air Fryer Roasted Chantenay Carrots are a nice twist on regular roasted carrots. They're cute but also full of flavour and they lend themselves perfectly to being roasted whole.

Ingredients

600 g Chantenay Carrots
2 tsp Fine/Table Salt
2 tsp Vegetable Oil
½ tsp Sea Salt Flakes

Instructions

Put a kettle of water on to boil.
Wash 600g Chantenay Carrots really well. As you're not gong to peel them, this step is important.
Give them a quick dry so you don't end up with them sliding everywhere as you cut them.
Use a sharp knife to top and tail the carrots - be minimal in what you cut off or you won't have much carrot left.
Put the trimmed carrots in a saucepan and cover with boiling water. Add roughly 2 tsp Fine Salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil then turn down to a gentle boil and allow to cook for around 10 minutes.
Once the carrots are just nearly tender all the way through (test my poking them with a little sharp knife), drain the water and return the carrots to the pan.
If your air fryer has a preheat setting, start this now.
Allow them to sit and steam dry for a couple of minutes.
Drizzle over 2 tsp Vegetable Oil and add ½ tsp Sea Salt Flakes. Toss to fully coat the carrots.
Tip the carrots into the air fryer basket and give them a shake to make sure they're evenly spread.
Air fry for 20 minutes at 200c/390f. Give the carrots a shake midway through the cooking time to ensure that they cook evenly - especially if they are not quite sitting in a single layer.

Notes

Portion Size - The portion size given assumes that the carrots are being served as part of a larger meal like a roast dinner with multiple vegetable options. Double the recipe (or consider the portion number halved) if making the carrots the main vegetable on your meal.
This recipe is tested in a Cosori Lite (‎CAF-LI401S) with a 3.8 litre capacity. The square(ish) shaped basket is 21cm x 21cm and 24cm on the diagonal.
Not all models advise preheating is required. Please follow the recommended instructions for your model. Mine has a specific preheat setting which is 4 minutes at 205c.
For this recipe, I managed to fit in 600g of small carrots. These just sit nicely in a single layer. If you need to pack them in more, just make sure to shake them a few extra times during the cooking process to make sure they all have their turn at the top of the pile.
As all air fryer models are a little different, you may find that you can fit more or less in at a time. Some models include stacking shelves which will increase capacity.
Required cooking times and temperatures can also vary between models and brands. If you know that your air fryer runs a little hotter than most recipes suggest, use a lower temperature. And vice versa. Equally if you find that food cooks more quickly in your machine than instructions usually state, reduce the cooking time (or check it earlier) and vice versa.
