Begin by washing and peeling your fresh carrots. Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the carrots into thin, uniform rounds about 1/8 inch thick.

Drizzle olive oil over the sliced carrots in the mixing bowl, ensuring an even coating. Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, garlic powder, and sea salt, then toss well until all the carrot slices are fully coated in the seasoning.

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for a few minutes. Spread the seasoned carrot slices evenly in the air fryer basket. Cook for 3 minutes, watching for them to turn golden brown and crispy.

Once cooked, carefully remove them from the air fryer, let cool a moment, and serve immediately for the best crunch.
