Cooking Times Will Differ

Cooking Times will vary depending on how thick your carrots are and the size that you cut them. Also, air fryers cook differently too. Some cook quicker and hotter than other models.  So consider your first batch a “test’ to see how long it takes for you to get to the texture that you prefer. Some folks like their carrots softer while others like it with more of a “bite”.
