Notes

  • For extra crispiness, try adding a little cornstarch to the seasoning mix before tossing with the vegetables.
  • If you want a spicier flavor, add chili powder or cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
  • The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the vegetable slices, so check for doneness by piercing with a fork.
  • You can store leftover air-fried carrots and potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
