Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C). (2 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, toss carrot sticks with grapeseed oil, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Transfer the seasoned carrots to the air fryer basket, ensuring they are in a single layer. Set the timer for 5 minutes. (1 minute)

04

Step

Shake the basket and continue cooking until carrots are tender and starting to brown, approximately 5 minutes more, depending on your air fryer. (5 minutes)

05

Step

While the carrots are air-frying, prepare the tahini-lemon sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper until smooth. Season with salt to taste. (3 minutes)

06

Step

Once the carrots are cooked to your liking, plate them and generously drizzle the tahini-lemon sauce over the top. (1 minute)

07

Step

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a sprinkle of Aleppo pepper for a final touch of flavor and visual appeal. Serve immediately.

For extra crispy carrots, ensure they are dry before tossing with oil and spices.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your spice preference.
The tahini-lemon sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Experiment with other vegetables like broccoli or Brussels sprouts for a different twist.
