These perfectly crispy air fryer carrots and parsnips are a delightful addition to any meal, transforming humble root vegetables into a delectable side dish. Simply peel and cut the carrots and parsnips into even, bite-sized pieces for uniform cooking. Toss them in a light drizzle of olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of your favourite herbs—thyme or rosemary work particularly well.

Preheat your air fryer to 200°C, then arrange the vegetables in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the basket. Cook for around 15 to 20 minutes, giving them a good shake halfway through to ensure even crispiness. The result? Tender, golden-brown vegetables with a satisfying crunch that will elevate any roast dinner or midweek supper. Perfectly seasoned and packed with flavour, these air fryer carrots and parsnips are sure to become a family favourite. Enjoy them hot, drizzled with a little balsamic vinegar for an extra touch of zing!
