Air Fryer Carrot Chips

Thin, crispy air fryer carrot chips with a zesty Tajín kick — a crunchy, veggie-packed snack with barely any oil. Low and slow in the air fryer dries them into crisp, chip-like strips.
They're a fun, colorful alternative to potato chips, and a sneaky way to get more veggies in. Great for snacking or topping a salad or bowl.
Ingredients
Instructions
Slice thin
Peel the carrots, then use the peeler to shave them into thin, wide strips.
Season
Toss the strips with the olive oil and Tajín until evenly coated.
Air fry
Air fry at 300°F for about 18–20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, until dried and crisp. Let them rest a few minutes to finish crisping.
- Shave the carrots thin with a peeler for true chip crispness.
- Low heat (300°F) keeps them from burning before they dry out.
- Turn often and pull when just crisp — they firm up as they cool.
Frequently asked
How long do carrot chips take in the air fryer?
About 18–20 minutes at 300°F, turning every 5 minutes, plus cooling time to crisp fully.
What is Tajín?
A Mexican seasoning of chili, lime and salt. Any chili-lime blend or just salt and smoked paprika works too.
Why are my carrot chips chewy?
They need to be sliced thinner or cooked a little longer — and give them time to crisp as they cool.
