    Air-Fryer Cumin Carrots

    Yield: 4 servings
    Prep: 20 min
    Cook: 15 min

    Ingredients

    • 2 teaspoons coriander seeds
    • 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
    • 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 41/2-inch sticks
    • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or butter
    • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
    • Minced fresh cilantro, optional

    Directions

    1. Preheat air fryer to 325°. In a dry small skillet, toast coriander and cumin seeds over medium heat 45-60 seconds or until aromatic, stirring frequently. Cool slightly. Grind in a spice grinder, or with a mortar and pestle, until finely crushed.
    2. Place carrots in a large bowl. Add melted coconut oil, garlic, salt, pepper and crushed spices; toss to coat. Place on greased tray in air-fryer basket.
    3. Cook until crisp-tender and lightly browned, 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. If desired, sprinkle with cilantro.
