Notes
- For a completely oil-free option, use cooking spray instead of olive oil.
- Ensure the carrots are cut into similar sizes for even cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket, as this can hinder air circulation and prevent even browning.
- Shake the basket occasionally during air frying to promote even cooking and browning.
- Add the cheese halfway through the roasting to prevent burning.
