Create a delicious and healthy side dish perfect for any meal with this easy air fryer roasted carrots and potatoes recipe.
This dish combines the natural sweetness of carrots with the earthy flavors of potatoes and is all brought together with aromatic herbs and spices in an air fryer.
I like Indian side dishes like beans stir fry and beets stir fry with my main dishes. With these recipes, I was inspired to try an air-frying version of roasted carrots and potatoes.
This differs from other recipes because I added Indian herbs and spices.
The result was an easy side dish you can prepare with minimal effort and one you can experiment with different seasonings that suit your main course meal.
This is a great way for the whole family to enjoy veggies during busy weeknights. Also, try my AF Zucchini and Squashes and AF Cubed Potatoes.

Recipe FAQs
Any potato will work. I used red potatoes, but Yukon Gold, Russet, baby potatoes, or sweet potatoes would also work.
These air fryer roasted carrots and potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. To reheat, place them back into the air fryer at 350°F for 5-7 minutes or until heated. Enjoy!
Kasuri methi is a type of Indian herb made from dried fenugreek leaves. It has a unique umami flavor and is often used in dal dishes and curries.
Subsititute
- If you don't have carrots, try using baby carrots or sweet potatoes in this recipe for extra sweetness.
- Try adding bell peppers along with the starchy vegetables to add extra color and flavor.
- You can also substitute other herbs and spices according to your taste. Parsley, oregano, thyme, or dill are all great choices!
- Substitute kasuri methi with other herbs like oregano or thyme for a different flavor.
