Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 cup bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 cup zucchini, chopped
  • 1 cup carrots, chopped
  • 1 cup broccoli florets

Seasonings & Oil

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (natural)
  • Salt (natural), to taste
  • Black pepper (natural), to taste

Garnishes & Fresh Herbs

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves or rosemary, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Vegetables: Chop all your vegetables into uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking. Wash and dry them thoroughly so that the seasonings and oil can cling perfectly.
  2. Season and Oil: In a large bowl, toss the vegetables with olive oil (natural), garlic powder (natural), smoked paprika (natural), salt, and pepper (natural). Make sure everything is evenly coated for consistent flavor and crispiness.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (around 200°C) and allow it to preheat for 3-5 minutes. This step is key to getting that crispy outside texture immediately when vegetables hit the basket.
  4. Cook in Batches: Place the vegetables in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Overcrowding will cause steaming rather than roasting, so cook in batches if needed. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking or stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Once done, transfer the hot Air Fryer Vegetables to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme. Serve immediately while crispy and warm.

Notes

  • Cut vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent crispiness.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper hot air circulation.
  • Shake or stir the vegetables halfway through cooking for uniform browning.
  • Adjust cooking time according to vegetable density; softer vegetables cook faster.
  • Use fresh, natural spices to boost flavor intensity.
