4 medium russet potatoes cut into evenly sized chunks
3 cups baby carrots
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon parsley dried
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon brown sugar
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

Wash the potatoes and carrots, then pat them completely dry.
Cut the potatoes into evenly sized 1-inch pieces.
Add the potatoes and carrots to a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle with vegetable oil and toss to coat.
In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, black pepper, paprika, salt, parsley, Italian seasoning, and brown sugar.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the vegetables and toss until evenly coated.

Air fry at 400°F for 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
Check for tenderness. If needed, continue cooking for another 3–5 minutes.

Notes

Tips

Cut the potatoes into evenly sized 1-inch pieces so they cook at the same rate as the carrots.
Pat the vegetables completely dry before adding the oil and seasonings to help the edges crisp.
Arrange the potatoes and carrots in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary.

Storage & Make Ahead

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheat in the air fryer at 360°F for 3–5 minutes, or until hot and crisp.
The vegetables can be washed and cut a few hours ahead, but keep them refrigerated and pat them dry before seasoning and cooking.
