Michelle says
Ummmm, I followed this recipe and my fries are not at all crispy. They're just cooked carrots. What am I doing wrong. My air fryer is in my oven. Does that make a difference
Katie Kelly says
Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that. That may what is causing that... I have a separate air fryer that I use to make any fry. I wonder if increasing the temp that you cook the fries at would help crispen them up.
