1.5 cups of shredded carrot equals approximately 6 ounces (170 grams) in UK measurements. This conversion is essential for air fryer recipes, where precise ingredient weights ensure even cooking and perfect results. Whether you're making carrot fries, adding shredded carrot to a stir-fry, or prepping veggies for meal prep, knowing this measurement saves time and hassle.

Air fryers rely on hot air circulation to cook food evenly, so ingredient quantities can impact texture and doneness. Too much shredded carrot in a single layer may steam instead of crisp, while too little could burn. Measuring by weight (ounces) rather than volume (cups) removes guesswork, especially since carrot shreds can settle or fluff up. If you're new to air frying, browse our air fryer recipes for foolproof ideas.
For consistent results, lightly pack shredded carrot into a measuring cup without compressing it. Fluff the shreds with a fork first to avoid clumps, then level off the top with a knife. A kitchen scale is ideal for verifying ounces, as moisture content can slightly alter volume. If you're prepping carrots in bulk, our vegetable recipe category offers storage tips.
Shredded carrot adds sweetness and texture to air-fried dishes like veggie patties, spring rolls, or even carrot cake oatmeal. At 6 ounces per 1.5 cups, it’s easy to scale recipes up or down. For crispy carrot ribbons, toss them with a bit of oil and air fry at 180°C for 8–10 minutes. Need cleaning tips after cooking?

If a recipe calls for grated or julienned carrot instead of shredded, weights may vary slightly due to density. One medium carrot (about 7 inches long) typically yields ½ cup shredded, or roughly 2 ounces. For larger batches, remember that 3 cups (about 12 ounces) fit most standard air fryer baskets without overcrowding. Explore our meal prep recipes for make-ahead ideas using shredded carrots.
