- Try other fresh herbs like parsley, mint, and rosemary for garnishing.
Equipment
I have air-fried carrots and potatoes in a Westinghouse oven with an air fryer for 20 minutes using a temperature of 200°C. Keep the veggies apart. If it is not possible, then flip the sides after some time to distribute the heat properly.
Use an air fryer you have, but watch out for cooking time.

FAQs
Cooked vegetables have less nutritional value in comparison to raw. And this depletion of nutrients depends on the cooking method. The more the veggies are exposed to heat and water more will be their nutrition depletion.
So, the veggies cooked in an air fryer are healthy and nutritious as these are not in direct contact with the heat that destroys their vitamins and minerals. Additionally, the air fryer keeps the surface of the veggies dry and cooks with circulating hot air that helps in retaining their nutrients.
You can reheat leftover air fryer-fried potatoes and carrots in two ways:
- Using an air fryer, refry the leftovers for 5 minutes at 170°C or until it is warm enough to serve.
- Bake these veggies in the oven for 10 mins at 180°C. Keep it more if it is not as per your liking.
Tips
- Every air fryer is different, as is the cooking time. So adjust time according.
- You can use spices as per your liking for seasoning. Let me also know how it goes!!
- If you cut veggies into big chunks, flip them in between.
- Store the leftovers in the refrigerator. Reheat before use.
