Ingredients and Substitutions

Find the Ingredients with actual measurements at the bottom of the post. The list below is just a reference.

• Potatoes: We used unpeeled red potatoes diced into ½ inch cubes. You can also use unpeeled Yukon gold potatoes or halved and unpeeled baby potatoes. They all have the same cook time.
• Carrots: You do not need to peel the carrots. Just rinse the carrots under running tap water and trim the ends. Dice the carrots into ¼ inch circles.
• Seasonings: We used homemade salt-free Cajun seasoning and salt according to our own personal taste preference. You can also use our homemade salt-free fajita seasoning or use a mix of rosemary, paprika, oregano and ground black pepper. You can also use Italian seasoning and paprika. Also, add red pepper flakes if you prefer a slight kick.
• Oil: We used olive oil. You can also use avocado oil. So good for high heat cooking. Do not use extra virgin olive oil.

Tips for success

• Dicing carrots & potatoes: Dice the unpeeled potatoes into 1 inch cubes and the carrots into ½ inch circles. No need to peel the carrots. Just rinse them well and trim the ends. Dicing them this way will ensure in an even cooking.
• Prevent burnt seasonings flavor: Add the seasonings to the roasted potatoes and carrots in air fryer after air frying them for the initial 15 mins. Air fry the potatoes and carrots mixed with oil first and than add the seasonings, mix well and air fry for another 5-6 mins. This will prevent the seasonings from getting burnt and prevent the slightly bitter burnt after taste.
• Cook time & air fryers: We tested this recipe using our Instant vortex air fryer, Bella air fryer and also using the instant pot air fryer lid. The cook time might slightly vary depending on your air fryer brand, model and make. If you love a very crispy outsides and well caramelized carrots do increase the cook time by 3-4 mins.
