Notes

If you like the brussels sprouts and carrots tender inside, you can boil them first for 3 to 5 minutes before air frying. Or wrap them in aluminum foil, and air fry at 400°F for 5 minutes. Then unwrap and spread the vegetables on the air fryer sheet pan or basket with the foil and air fry them for about 15 minutes or until they crisp up.

Depending on your air fryer, adjust the cooking time and temperature.
