Hey, in convection hw should I use… I never backed nothing.. Should use low rack or high…..
Sorry I have never used convection oven so no idea
can you use an air frier fo these? if so, do you still coat the carrots with the oil>> Thanks,
Sorry I have never used air fryer so no idea
For those asking about air fryer or convection oven baking, follow Vidya’s recipe, even the same temperature, but stay close! Start checking for “doneness” at about eight minutes, as less time is often needed due to that air flow around whatever’s inside the air fryer or convection overn moved the hot air around more evenly. One good thing – these are carrots, so if they’re a little “under done” in the middle, unless you’re cooking for someone who’s picky about the texture of their food, it doesn’t really matter.
