Ingredients

2 cups carrots (about 2 medium carrots), peeled and cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces

2 cups parsnips (about 1 large parsnip), peeled and cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces

1/2 tbsp fresh rosemary, minced

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1/4 tsp garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Peel and cut carrots and parsnips into 1 1/2 inch pieces for even cooking.

Rinse and mince the fresh rosemary.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine carrots, parsnips, and rosemary.

Add olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; stir to coat evenly.

Place vegetables in the air fryer basket in mostly a single layer (some overlap is okay).

Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes.

If needed, cook in two batches for smaller air fryer baskets.

Serve warm as a healthy, flavorful side dish.

Notes

Cutting the vegetables into uniform 1 1/2 inch pieces ensures even cooking.

Fresh rosemary adds the best flavor, but dried rosemary can be used in a pinch (reduce by half).

For a crispier texture, shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
