I had this over the Holidays and they were absolutely amazing. I’m going to be adding this to my recipes throughout the whole year.
Great recipe! I used homemade Italian seasoning mix and it was perfect.
I served these with a steak and they were perfect! I won’t cook carrots any other way. Air frying them was so quick and easy.
