Air Fryer Vegetables

These Air Fryer vegetables are a quick and easy side that you can make with any vegetables you have on hand. Air Frying vegetables is much quicker than using the oven, and you end up with a healthy and delicious side dish.

Air frying vegetables is an absolute breeze, and probably my favorite way of cooking veggies. I love roasting my vegetables in the oven, but air frying is an even quicker method that I use all the time (you know how much I love my Air Fryer!). These roasted vegetables are the best side dish for steak or any other meats you can think of!

They’re also perfect for meal prep, because you can make them in advance and reheat later.

Here’s what you need to make this:

Complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.

• Vegetables: In this recipe, I used mushrooms, zucchini, red bell pepper, cauliflower and red onion. But as I said, this recipe is very versatile and you can use other things like broccoli, sweet potatoes cut up small, butternut squash, beets, carrots, brussels sprouts, asparagus, tomatoes, or even frozen vegetables.
• Olive oil: While you can use different oils like canola, sunflower, or avocado oil. I personally love using olive oil because of the delicious flavor that it adds to the roasted vegetables.
• Seasonings: I like to add minced garlic for flavor, dried or fresh herbs, salt and pepper. You can also season with Italian seasoning, or taco seasoning for extra flavor.

How To Make Air Fryer Vegetables

1. Prep and Season. Cut your vegetables in bite sized pieces, if you’re using firm vegetables like beets, sweet potatoes, or carrot then make them a little smaller. In a large bowl, toss the veggies with olive oil and seasonings of choice.
2. Preheat. Preheat your Air Fryer for 5 minutes.
3. Air Fry. Place your seasoned vegetables in the Air Fryer in a single layer, and Air Fry as per recipe below until cooked through and slightly charred.

Recommend Air Fryer & Accessories

The Air Fryer that I use, love, and always recommend is the Cosori Air Fryer. It’s an Air Fryer that I’ve been using for quite a while now, comes with a large square basket which means that I can fit lots of food, and it’s a powerful gadget that you will enjoy using.

I also really like using these Air Fryer Parchment Paper Liners that perfectly fit in my Cosori, they make clean up so easy!

Top Tips

• Frozen vegetables are great to use. Air fry frozen veggies straight from the freezer for a quick side dish, see my notes on this below.
• Don’t overcrowd your Air Fryer basket! When you Air Fry, make sure that the vegetables don’t touch each other too much so they get crispy instead of steaming.

Cooking From Frozen

You can also Air Fry frozen vegetables, but you have to keep in mind that they won’t turn out as crisp as if you were cooking fresh vegetables.

I recommend following the same method of air frying that I use to make Air Fryer Frozen Chicken Wings, you’ll just have to adjust the cooking time. Basically, cook frozen vegetables for 7-8 minutes, then spray with oil and sprinkle with seasonings then air fry for 10 more minutes or until the vegetables are tender and crisp!
