Description

These Air Fryer Vegetables are a quick, easy, and healthy side dish packed with flavor. The air fryer delivers perfectly roasted, crispy veggies in just 10-15 minutes, making it the ideal method for busy weeknights. Seasoned with Italian herbs, garlic, and a squeeze of lemon, these vegetables pair perfectly with any meal!


Ingredients

  • 1 zucchini or yellow squash, cut into ½-inch half-moons
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 ounces cremini mushrooms, quartered
  • 1 small red onion, chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 carrot, thinly sliced
  • 1 heaping cup small broccoli florets
  • 1 heaping cup small cauliflower florets
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Lemon wedge, for squeezing
  • Optional toppings: grated Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  • Prepare the vegetables: Chop the zucchini, bell pepper, mushrooms, onion, carrot, broccoli, and cauliflower.
  • Season the veggies: Toss them in a large bowl with olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Cook in batches: Arrange vegetables in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding for even crisping.
  • Air fry for 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned.
  • Serve: Transfer to a serving dish, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top, and garnish with Parmesan cheese or parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For extra spice, add red pepper flakes or smoked paprika.
  • For an herbaceous touch, toss with fresh thyme, rosemary, or basil after cooking.
  • For a cheesy boost, sprinkle crumbled feta or grated Parmesan before serving.
  • For a full meal, serve with chickpeas, tofu, or grilled chicken.
