Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I roast carrots at 425°F?

+

Whole carrots take 25–35 minutes at 425°F. Baby carrots take 18–25 minutes. Carrot coins take 20–25 minutes. Toss with oil and salt, spread in a single layer, and flip once at halfway for even caramelization.

How long do baby carrots take in the air fryer?

+

Baby carrots take 10–14 minutes at 400°F in the air fryer, shaking the basket once at halfway. Toss with olive oil first.

How long do you boil carrots?

+

Carrot coins boil in 5–8 minutes. Baby carrots boil in 6–10 minutes. Drop into boiling salted water and test with a fork — they should be tender but still have slight resistance.

What's the best way to cook carrots?

+

Roasting at 425°F gives the best flavor — high heat caramelizes the natural sugars and develops sweet, slightly crispy edges. The air fryer achieves the same effect in about half the time.
