Carrot Fries

Did you know you can make carrots in the air fryer and the fries come out like a real fried French fry! Just add my dipping sauce and you have the real deal.

Did you know you can make carrots in the air fryer and the fries come out like a real fried French fry!

These may look like just your average fries but guess what, they’re healthier and even more delicious! My air fried carrots are seriously so good that you’ll forgot about normal fries! And my secret sauce will leave you wanting even more!

These are my Wing Stop flavor inspired fries, and wow so so good! But, you can use another combination of seasonings that you love.

Ingredients

There are carrot fries ingredients and sauce ingredients; however, we also can go over some substitution suggestions.

ingredients

Carrot Ingredients

  • Whole carrots
  • Sugar
  • Seasoned Salt

Sauce Ingredients

  • Yogurt
  • Honey Mustard
  • Ketchup
  • Salt

But, let's go over some suggestions as well.

For the carrots, I want to make these look like fries as much as possible; therefore, I use whole carrots. These can be made with other shapes of carrots; however, you will need to be mindful of cooking times.

I season my fries with sugar and seasoned salt, kinda like Wing Stop does; however, you can choose any flavor combination.

Finally, for the sauce. I usually use plain, non-fat Greek yogurt, for a healthier option. However, you can use mayo or even try sour cream.

How to Make Carrot Fries

Wash, peel and chop off the ends of all carrots. Cut each in half and then cut the big half into six sticks and the small half into four sticks (depending on the size of your carrot, this may need to be changed).

Place all the sticks in a large bowl and cover with cooking spray. Add seasonings and toss to evenly combine.

step 1: cut and season the fries

Cook in the air fryer for 15 to 25 minutes, shaking every five minutes. However, keep an eye on the fries as they may burn easily.

step 2: air fry in fryer

I do prefer to make these in the air fryer; however, you may not have one. Skip the air fryer and cook on the oven at 450 degrees for 35 minutes, flipping halfway.

Are Carrot Fries Healthy?

I would say these are definitely a healthier version of your favorite French fry snack! They are just carrots, made in the air fryer. You do not even need to add oil to them!

Plus, make the dipping sauce with yogurt, to keep it healthy and packed with protein. I would say that is a better alternative to a mayo-based dip.

How do I Make Carrot Fries Crispy?

To make your fries extra crispy, air fry them for as long as possible, without burning them. However, you will want to keep an eye on them as they can burn pretty quickly.

What to Serve with Carrot Fries

The seasonings I use remind me of Wing Stop's French fries; therefore, I love serving these with my crispy cornstarch wings. You can also try my air fryer crispy corn, it is a copycat to the Wing Stop corn as well.

If you are looking for something healthier, I have tons of lean chicken dishes to serve these carrot fries with.

Storage Instructions

Store these fries in an airtight container, in the fridge, for up to three days. To reheat them, I like to pop them back into the air fryer.

Be mindful of when you opened your yogurt. A Greek yogurt is typically only good, opened, for 5 days in the fridge. To store the actual sauce, place it in an air tight container in the fridge. You can keep the sauce for up to 5 days from when the yogurt was opened.

Expert Tips

I like to get a little burntness on my fries to keep them a little crispy! Air fry them for as long as possible, without over burning them.

    Hi, I think I didn’t cook my carrots in the air fryer long enough. Are they supposed to be crunchy or soft more like fries?

    These were pretty good! I added a packet of splenda/stevia packet to the sauce to take some of the tang out. It was good.
    I bet the carrots would be good with brown sugar substitute and cinnamon!
