Servings: 4 people
Equipment
Ingredients
- 300 g carrots
- 300 g parsnips
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- Generous pinch of salt
Instructions
- Peel the carrots and parsnips, and chop off the root ends. Cut each carrot and parsnip in half, then cut into quarters lengthways, into thick strips. The thinner the strips, the shorter cooking time they will need. I usually cut each vegetable into approx 8 pieces.
- Mix the honey, olive oil, salt, apple cider vinegar and thyme in a large bowl until combined.
- Tip the carrots and parsnips in and toss well to coat them completely.
- Pour the carrots, parsnips and any remaining marinade into the air cooker basket (I remove the crisper tray and put them directly in the basket).
- Lay the vegetables out into one even layer - you want some space between them so they crisp up. If you only have a small air fryer or are doing a larger portion, you may need to cook them in batches.
- Air fry at 200C (390F) for 8 minutes. Toss the veg in the basket then cook for another 8-10 minutes until crisp. If you have thicker pieces, cook them for an additional 2-4 minutes at-a-time until they are done.
