Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 lb chuck roast
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Optional Side
- 1 cup baby carrots (optional side)
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 390 °F (200 °C) to ensure it is ready to cook the roast evenly and develop a nice crust.
- Prepare the Roast: Rub the chuck roast thoroughly with olive oil to help seasoning adhere and promote browning. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper evenly over all sides of the roast.
- Air Fry the Roast: Place the seasoned roast into the air fryer basket. Cook for 35–40 minutes, flipping the roast halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispness and tenderness on all sides.
- Rest the Meat: Remove the roast from the air fryer and let it rest for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier slice.
- Optional Vegetables: For a complete meal, add baby carrots and onions around the roast before cooking to roast them alongside the meat, absorbing its flavors.
Notes
- Add carrots and onions around the roast for a convenient one-pan meal.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket for best results.
- Resting the roast is essential to maintain juiciness.
- Adjust seasoning to your preference.
