Gather the carrots, seasonings, oil and air fryer. Thoroughly wash the carrots and cut them irregularly to get more edges. More like cutting them in the shape of V. I don't peel the carrots as they tend to have a bitter taste, but if you are in the habit of peeling carrots, you can.
In a bowl throw in the carrots, butter or oil and seasonings and mix well, making sure they are coated well.

Notes

Tips to make the best Air Fryer Carrots

Pick evenly sized carrots that are lean. These carrots were 1 inch thick in diameter.
Wash them thoroughly to get rid of any dirt and avoid peeling to the extent possible. Sometimes peeling yields to bitter taste of the carrots. Plus you lose the layer of vitamin D on that carrot.
Cut them in a way to get as many edges possible. preferably in the shape of 'V'
