Red Potatoes and Carrots Oven Roasted

This red potato and roasted carrots recipe looks and tastes so delicious! The red-skinned potatoes add some color, and then add the bright orange carrots, for more color and flavor. It's a mixture of sweet (caramelized carrots) and savory with smoked paprika, adding to the flavor and color of this dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound red potatoes about 4 medium cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 pound carrots about 5 medium, cut into 1 inch chunks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt or other coarse salt
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. It only takes 2 - 3 minutes. I spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray or use a precut parchment liner.
  • Cut red potatoes and carrots into pieces roughly an inch in size.
  • Combine red potatoes, carrots, and oil. Stir so that all veggies are lightly coated. Sprinkle the seasonings on top and then mix again until everything is evenly coated.
  • Add seasoned cut up red potatoes and carrots onto air fryer basket, ensuring not to crowd. At about the 25 minute mark, start checking carrots with a fork to see if the center is soft to know they are done. The carrots are usually firmer than the potatoes. Cook for an extra few minutes if you would like them to be softer.
  • I garnish with an extra sprinkle of smoked paprika for color and some chopped parsley. My family likes the taste of parsley with potatoes so I'm generous with it.

Notes

Storage - May be placed in the refrigerator for up to 3 -4 days in a closed container. 
I LOVE eating leftover roasted potatoes with breakfast. Perfect as a side to scrambled or fried eggs!
