Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Large bowl

Ingredients
  

Basic Air Fryer Vegetables

  • 4 cups Mixed vegetables e.g., broccoli, bell peppers, zucchini
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 0.25 tsp Black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp Garlic powder

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Thoroughly wash and chop your chosen vegetables into uniform, bite-sized pieces for even cooking.

Seasoning & Air Frying

  • In a large bowl, toss the prepared vegetables with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until they are evenly coated. Arrange the seasoned vegetables in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  • Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time, until the vegetables are tender-crisp and lightly browned.

Serving

  • Serve the air-fried vegetables immediately as a delicious and healthy side dish.

Notes

For crisper results, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary. Feel free to experiment with different seasonings, like paprika, onion powder, or a dash of chili flakes, to customize the flavor. These air-fried vegetables are a versatile side and pair well with grilled chicken, fish, or any main course. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the air fryer for best texture.
