Step 1: Prepare the Carrots - Wash and peel the carrots, then slice them into thin rounds, aiming for about 1/8-inch thickness.
Step 2: Mix the Seasonings - In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, brown sugar (if using), cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well combined.
Step 3: Toss the Carrots - Add the carrot slices to the bowl with the seasoning mixture and toss gently until evenly coated.
Step 4: Preheat the Air Fryer - Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
Step 5: Air Fry the Carrots - Place the carrot chips in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for about 10-15 minutes, shaking halfway through.
Step 6: Cool and Enjoy! - Once golden brown and crispy, remove from the air fryer and let cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before enjoying.
