If you're looking for a new way to cook up carrots, try these air fryer smashed carrots. This recipe is so simple - just pop the carrots in the air fryer until they're soft, then take them out and give them a good smash with the bottom of a mug.
From there, all you need to do is sprinkle on some ranch seasoning and parmesan cheese before air frying them one last time. I love how they turn out perfectly crispy, flavorful side dish that pairs perfectly with anything from grilled chicken to a hearty steak.
